How to do the Forearm Stretch Version IV
Stand or sit upright and extend one arm out in front of you at shoulder height.
Ensure your elbow is straight and your palm is facing down.
With your other hand, gently grasp the fingers of your extended arm and pull them downwards towards the floor. You'll feel a stretch along the underside of your forearm.
Maintain this position without forcing the fingers beyond their natural range of motion. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, taking care not to overextend, as it should cause no pain, just a gentle stretch.
Release the hand and gently shake out your fingers to relieve any tension.
Repeat the stretch with the other arm.
Remember to breathe deeply and evenly throughout the stretch and never force your fingers or wrist into painful positions.
