How do you get a stiff wrist to move after cast comes off?

To regain movement in a stiff wrist after a cast comes off, gentle exercises like wrist circles, wrist flexion and extension stretches, and wrist rotations can help. Gradually increase the intensity of exercises as the wrist becomes less stiff, but avoid overexertion to prevent injury. It may also be helpful to consult with a physical therapist for a tailored rehabilitation plan.
