How to do Adduction Hand With Elbow Extended Stretch

01
Setup
Stand or sit comfortably, extending one arm straight out in front of you at shoulder height with your palm facing down.
02
Setup
With your free hand, gently grasp the fingers of your extended hand, keeping your thumb on top.
03
Keeping your extended arm's elbow completely straight, slowly pull your extended hand downwards and inwards towards your body, feeling a stretch along the top of your forearm.
04
Hold the stretch for the prescribed duration, maintaining a steady, deep breathing pattern.
05
Slowly release the stretch and then repeat the process on your other arm.

Tips

Focus on keeping the elbow of the stretched arm fully extended throughout the movement to ensure the stretch is effectively targeting the forearm extensors.
Control the intensity by applying a gentle, sustained pull; the sensation should be a mild to moderate stretch, never pain.
Perform this stretch after activities involving repetitive gripping or wrist extension, such as typing or lifting, to aid recovery and reduce stiffness.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and down, avoiding any shrugging, to ensure the stretch is isolated to the wrist and forearm.

Common mistakes

Bending the elbow of the stretching arm reduces the effectiveness of the stretch; ensure your elbow remains locked out straight.
Pulling too aggressively can cause discomfort or injury; instead, apply a gentle, sustained pull until a mild to moderate stretch is felt.
Shrugging the shoulder during the stretch can create tension in the neck and upper back; actively depress your shoulder blade to isolate the forearm.
