Relieving forearm tension involves stretching and mobility exercises to release tightness in the muscles.
Based on the provided video snippet, a great stretch involves the following:
- Straight Arms: Maintain straight arms throughout the stretch.
- Flexion: Pull your fingers back towards your body. This puts the forearm muscles into flexion.
- Pronation (Twisting Down): Twist your arm downwards. This rotation targets the muscles on the back side of your forearm.
- Hold: Maintain the stretch, feeling it along the back side of your forearm.
This simple exercise focuses on stretching the forearm extensor muscles, which are commonly tight due to activities involving gripping or repetitive hand movements.
