How Bryson DeChambeau Rebuilt Wrist Strength After Injury

Bryson DeChambeau’s game is built on speed and power, but in 2022, a fractured hamate bone in his left wrist threatened to take that away. After surgery, the rehab process became the key to his comeback. He began with gentle range-of-motion drills, progressive grip-strength training and forearm activation exercises. Once the foundation was strong, he added resisted wrist movements, controlled impact drills, and partial golf swings to reintroduce force. He could safely transition back to his full-speed drives that push over 190 mph.

Without therapy, Bryson’s risk of re-injury would have skyrocketed.

Instead, rehab restored his wrist and his confidence to return to his unique power game. His story proves that therapy isn’t a setback; it’s the bridge back to peak performance.
