It does seem to reduce pain when doing this. I went to the doctors about it concerned of tfcc last time but I keep getting the same pain like this that is preventing me to climb for a couple weeks at a time. Does antagonistic wrist training help prevent this or are there any known ways to lower the risk of injury aside from tapping
Taping with this test helps confirm the injury and then you need to train stability and sensory motor control at the wrist to rehab and reduce the risk. It is a slow process as wrist injuries can be complicated and the anatomy of the wrist makes it challenging to stabilize.
It is not uncommon for people with TFCC injuries return back to sport at full (or close to full strength) with proper physical therapy that focuses on unloading the tissues, increasing pain-free mobility, improving muscle performance, and restoring optimal movement. It is more likely that the wrist gains improved sensory motor control than the TFCC repairing itself - but some of this depends on the extent of the injury, the location, and individual factors.
