Grip and pinch exercises

Описание: Grip and pinch exercises can help with loss of grip due to ulnar sided injury and tfcc tears. Strengthen your grip through gripping, lateral pinch strength (key pinch strength), and tritip pinch strength (three point pinch) exercises. These exercises are helpful for mild tfcc tears, for moderate and severe TFCC tears follow the protocol on WristWidget.com first.

Lying in anatomical position is the bodies “neutral”. With your body in the correct position, you will be able to tune in specifically to your grip movements. Try holding the towels standing up versus in anatomical position and FEEL the difference!

Hello!! My name is Wendy and I am the inventor and patent holder of the WristWidget®, a solution for those with tears of the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex.

I am an Occupational Therapist with a specialty in hands or CHT- Certified Hand Therapist. My fascination with the hands started at a young age when I became intrigued with the incredible dexterity that allowed me to play the piano, repair engines, write and function so well. It led me down the path of medicine at Chaminade University and then obtain a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy in 1993. My work at Shriners Hospital in Hawaii led me to meet the hand therapist who demonstrated the incredible ability to mold and form materials for the hands of children. My passion excelled at Stanford University Hospital and Clinics where I received the most incredible exposure to all areas of medicine. I opened my private practice in Redwood City, California upon the birth of my second child. Then returned to my hometown to open 3 clinics in Honolulu, Kailua, and Queens. It was here that I invented the WristWidget®. Now the WristWidget® has expanded to all continents. I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to look at an injury every day, all day. With this has come great knowledge and understanding of an important dynamic of the human wrist.
My work now is entirely manufacturing, distribution and research. My hope is to influence the way we understand the TFCC and its incredible capacity to heal. With time and research, the work of the many who have shared their stories and experiences will be published. Hopefully soon, a patient with ulnar-sided wrist pain can receive an early and non-invasive diagnosis and an effective treatment.

Warmest Aloha to all of the mentors, teachers, patients, clinicians, friends, and family who have guided me along this path.
