Wrist Flexor Stretch
Palms pressed together in front of the chest, lower the hands toward the waist with the elbows out; the insides of the forearms stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, palms pressed together in front of the chest, fingers up, elbows out.
Steps
- Lower the joined hands slowly toward the waist.
- Keep the heels of the palms pressed together.
- Hold where the forearms stretch, then raise the hands to ease off.
Common mistakes
Palms peeling apart at the bottom: stop where they still press flat. Shoulders hunching up: keep them low and relaxed. Sharp pain in the wrist joint: raise the hands until only the forearms pull.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
