Common Wrist Flexor Massage

COMMON WRIST FLEXOR MASSAGE

This is a self massage technique for the wrist flexors. Grab a massage or lacrosse ball and place it on a tender spot on your forearm while your palm is face up. Support the back of your forearm with a stable bench, chair or desk. Compress the tender spot within tolerable levels and slowly extend and flex the wrist to engage the muscle. Repeat for 4-5 wrist flexion-extension repetitions and pick another spot if required. Self massage generally is limited to a single session for every 48 hour period.
