Rehabilitation

Progressive Loading: Perform isometric, concentric, and eccentric resistance exercises of the affected wrist muscles to strengthen the tendon9

Equipment/Grip

Use oversized or softer grips to reduce the required grip pressure. Consider lighter, graphite shafted clubs to decrease vibrational stress10.
