How to do it
Move into the stretch position slowly until you feel a gentle pull on the target muscle. Hold the stretch while breathing deeply, avoiding any bouncing or pain.
- 1Extend your arm with palm down and gently pull your fingers back until you feel a stretch along the underside of your forearm
- 2Keep your shoulder relaxed and breathe deeply as you hold the stretch
- 3You should feel a mild pulling sensation but no sharp pain
Common mistakes
- Don't force the stretch or bounce, ease into it gradually
- Avoid twisting your wrist or applying pressure that causes discomfort
- Don't hold your breath; breathing helps you relax and deepen the stretch
