This simple pose will feel oh-so-good after a long day at the computer.
Performing the wrist stretch on your hands and knees allows you to put targeted pressure on your forearms and wrists, stretching those muscles. A lot of my clients are unsure of how far to lean forward when stretching, either going too far or not far enough.
It’s important to know where to place the palms of your hands when performing this stretch. It’s common to get this placement wrong, and it’s important to get right so that you don’t strain any muscles.Turn your palms completely around so that your fingertips are facing directly at your knees . Gently rock your body forward and backward until you feel the stretch. Then, lean into it only as far as you feel comfortable.
Make sure you feel the stretch in your wrists and your forearms before settling on the position of your upper body.Stretching both wrists at once can be a little intimidating, especially if your wrists are really tight or you aren’t quite comfortable with the positioning. When my clients aren’t feeling totally confident with this stretch, I recommend stretching one wrist at a time.
Start in the same tabletop position as the full exercise. But instead of flipping both hands so that the fingertips point toward your knees, keep one hand facing forward. Lean forward or backward until you feel the stretch in the wrist of the one backward-facing hand. Hold here and then switch sides.
