Wrist Ulnar Deviator and Flexor Stretch
The kneeling wrist flexor stretch with the fingertips turned in toward each other, which adds the little-finger side of the forearm; held for time.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling, palms flat on the floor in front of the knees, fingertips turned in toward each other, elbows straight.
Steps
- Turn the hands until the fingertips point at each other.
- Sit back slowly until the pull reaches the little-finger side of the forearm.
- Hold and breathe, then lean forward over the hands to come out.
Common mistakes
Elbows bending as you sit back: keep them straight, the stretch lives there. Hands creeping closer together: keep them shoulder-width apart. Forcing the heels of the hands down through pain: ease back until it is only a stretch.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
