Back in the summer time, i encountered some serious issues with overtraining, resulting in me taking around 3 months to gradually repair and build up my tendon strength to handle lots of pulling movements. That process was slow and tedious, but very productive. I experienced a smaller scale version of this in my knees for a couple weeks, which i believe i'm clear of (though i'm not quite safe yet). For the past 2 months, i've been having issues with my wrists; sometimes quite painful with limited mobility, and sometimes just fine. Now I know what caused it; heavy wrist rollers followed by kicking up into a handstand cold, and they just haven't been the same since. I'm not sure as to why my wrists had been capable of handling handstands and other wrist dominant movements (as far as compressive forces) in the past, and not now. But currently, i cannot hold a push up position without pain, and this has me very worried, since i will be starting to prepare for the baseball season (hitting isn't exactly something that can be avoided) in a week or so.
This being the case, i can't say that i hadn't tried resting, and building up slowly, but now i realize that i'll have to do it far slower, maybe taking 3-4 months if necessary. I'm writing this post to document the first week of my rehab, which won't be particularly easy what with conflicts as far as sport goes.
The 3 major exercises that i'm going to do will be:
-wrist flexion
-wrist extension
-finger extension
