Any exercises for soft tissue damage in wrist?

Question

I hurt my wrist and hand by landing wrong from a bad fall and now my wrist and hand have soft tissue damage. It can be pretty painful waiting for it to heal but I can handle it. I'm in my early 20's and I don't think it should take long to heal but I want to help it along. Are there any exercises I can do to help speed my recovery? If you are a health professional, please add that in your answer.

The best thing you can do is to see a therapist who can tailor a rehab program for you specifically. Ideally, you should see a CHT - certified hand therapist.

I know you may be thinking "i don't want to trouble with that, it will get better on its own". You may be right, but if you want things to get better and stay better, then it is time to invest in your health here and get some help.
