How Can A Sprained Wrist Be Treated?

Hello, so i sprained my wrist about 5 weeks ago. I ve been taking it easy on it since then. I still have slight pain when I put stress on it (i.e. push up). But its not unbearable pain. At this phase in my healing process will it reduce pain and speed up healing if I were to stretch it or do light exercises that incorporate it? Thanks
