How do you include it in your practice and play of the ukulele?

If your wrist is straining too much, hold the neck closer to you, nearer to your shoulder. If you look at pictures of classical guitarists, they do the same thing. This way of holding the instrument minimizes the strain on your hands. It's not the most mobile position in the world but after a lot of playing it helps keep your carpals un-tunneled.
Tendonitis is less a concern than obsessive playing until your fingers bleed... and then there are those facial muscles that get sprained from smiling too much.I don't want tendinitis ya know..
I find that a Grey Goose Martini just before a practice session loosens me right up. It also makes me think I sound a lot better too!!! :cheers:
Keep you wrist straight. My teacher yips at me every time if I don't.
