Seated Forearm Stretch

Can we all just agree with that age-old advice your mom gave you? You remember it, “Sit up tall, proper posture is important.” HipFit’s Seated Forearm Stretch gives you a chance to work on that posture while stretching those tight muscles in your forearm. This stretch helps relieve tension in the both the back and front side of the forearm and hand while gently opening the fascia around the forearm extensor. That’s a lot of technical talk but what we really want you to know is, “it feels great!

Instructions:

Sit up tall in your chair with both feet flat on the floor- that’s the posture part. Extend one arm out straight and face your palm up or down- your choice. Dangle your fingers toward the floor and grab them with your other hand. Gently pull them toward your body and release, relatively quickly. Don’t move too fast or pull too far. Complete ten passes and switch to the other arm.
