The Side Wrist Pull Stretch is a simple stretching exercise that focuses on stretching the wrists and forearms.
How to perform
To perform the Side Wrist Pull Stretch, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by standing or sitting in a comfortable position with your back straight.
2. Extend your right arm out in front of you at shoulder height, palm facing down.
3. Use your left hand to gently grasp the fingers of your right hand.
4. Slowly pull back on the fingers of your right hand, bending your wrist and feeling a stretch in your forearm and wrist.
5. Hold this stretch for 15-30 seconds, making sure to breathe deeply and relax into the stretch.
6. Release the stretch and switch sides, extending your left arm out in front of you and repeating the stretch with your right hand.
7. Repeat on both sides 2-3 times, or as needed to feel a good stretch in your wrists and forearms.
Remember to listen to your body and only stretch to the point of mild discomfort, never to the point of pain. Stretching should feel good and help to release tension in your muscles. Stretching regularly can help improve flexibility and prevent injury.
