Instructions
Set up: Begin by standing or sitting in a comfortable position with your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
Positioning: Extend one arm out in front of your body at shoulder height with your palm facing down.
Begin Stretch: With your other hand, gently press down on the fingers of your extended hand so that your wrist bends, feeling a stretch in the top of your forearm.
Hold and Breathe: Hold this position, ensuring you apply enough pressure to feel a stretch without causing pain. Maintain the stretch for 15-30 seconds.
Release and Relax: Release the pressure gently and shake out your hand to relax the muscles.
Repeat: Repeat the stretch on the same hand for 2-3 reps if desired, then switch to the other hand and perform the same stretch.
Key Note: Remember to breathe calmly and consistently throughout the stretch. Don't force your wrist further than what feels comfortable, and avoid jerky movements.
Important Reminder: If you experience any pain while performing this exercise, stop immediately and consult with a healthcare provider or fitness professional.
