Wrist flexor stretch

  1. Extend your affected arm in front of you with your palm facing down.
  2. Bend back your wrist on your affected arm, pointing your fingers up.
  3. With your other hand, gently bend your wrist farther until you feel a mild to medium stretch in your forearm.
  4. Hold for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
  5. Repeat 2 to 4 times.
  6. Repeat steps 1 through 5. But this time extend your affected arm in front of you with your palm facing up. Then bend back your wrist, pointing your fingers down.
  7. It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other arm.
