Wrist and Forearm Stretch

Stand near a wall and put your right palm, with fingers spread, against the wall.

Stretch your arm so that the elbow is straight.

Inhale deeply...

Slowly turn your head away from your hand on the wall, pointing the tip of your right shoulder blade in towards your body. Breathe deeply and hold for 15 seconds.

Repeat on the other side.
