Downward dog (the yoga pose) helped me work through my wrist pain problem. I'm not sure if my wrists got stronger, or if I learned to activate or extend through my wrists (or both), but given how the fix has endured even through lazy periods, I think I learned to carry my weight differently through my wrists. Instead of letting my weight crush down into the heels of my hands, I... push away/through the floor with my hands.

It's hard to explain. Someone who is more savvy might know what I'm talking about and explain it better.
