Roll Ball Forearm Flexors
The inside of the forearm rolls over a massage ball on a table or the floor, the other hand pressing down, to loosen the forearm flexors.
How to do it
Setup
The ball on a table or the floor, the forearm resting across it palm up, the other hand on top of the forearm.
Steps
- Roll the forearm over the ball from just above the wrist toward the elbow.
- Open and close the hand slowly while the ball sits on a tight spot.
- Pause on a tender spot and breathe until it eases, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Rolling over the wrist or the inside of the elbow: stay on the muscle between them. Leaning the whole body onto the ball: the other hand adds the pressure, a little at a time. Carrying on through tingling in the fingers: move the ball off that spot.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
