Instructions
1. Stand facing a wall with a foam roller or a similar cylindrical object in your hands.
2. Extend your arms forward and place the roller against the wall at shoulder height.
3. Press your palms into the roller and apply firm pressure. Keep your elbows straight.
4. Slowly roll the foam roller up the wall by walking your fingers upward, stretching the forearms.
5. Once you've reached a comfortable stretch or the highest point, slowly walk your fingers back down, returning to the starting position.
6. Repeat the rolling motion for several repetitions, or as recommended by your fitness professional or physical therapist.
7. The exercise can also be performed as an isometric stretch by holding the roller in a fixed position to apply static pressure on the forearms.
Be sure to move smoothly throughout the exercise and keep the core engaged for stability. Use this exercise as part of a warm-up or cooldown routine to improve forearm flexibility and mobility.
