Ready to solve forearm pain? These 3 unique exercises will help balance your forearm muscles and release tissue tension.
But whatever you do, stop stretching. It only helps the tissue that is already pliable. Instead, start with the ASMR from the first exercise. It breaks up scar tissue and knots in your muscles, improving pliability.
We get forearm pain from activities like desk work and extended periods of looking at our phone screens. It also comes from time at the gym or playing grip sports like tennis, golf, and racquetball.
After improving the tissue quality, focusing on increasing strength and range of motion will restore balance between the muscles that flex and extend your wrist and elbow.
As a quick reminder for these forearm exercises, ASMR should “hurt good,” and changing the pressure when you’re working a well-muscled area versus going over a joint like your wrist is okay. In the third exercise, make sure to keep your fingers straight and flared, as well as your elbow straight. But don’t overextend if you’re hypermobile!
