Kneeling Forearm Stretch
Wrist flexibility, forearm release, repetitive strain prevention
Why it works
Kneeling forearm stretches reverse the chronic wrist flexion from typing and phone use. The gentle, sustained position allows the connective tissue to adapt gradually.
How to do it
- Kneel and place your palms flat on the floor, fingers pointing back toward you
- Gently lean back to feel a stretch through the wrists and forearms
- Breathe and hold gently without forcing the range
- Wrist tissue adapts slowly — consistent gentle load beats occasional hard sessions
