A Colles fracture is a break in one of the forearm bones near the wrist that commonly requires physical therapy after a period of immobilization. The exercises used in physical therapy are focused on restoring wrist flexion (bending the hand down at the wrist), wrist extension (bending the hand up at the wrist), and deviation (bending your hand side to side at the wrist).
