To
keep your arm muscles toned and at proper resting length, do each of these
stretches at least two or three times every day for as long as you perform
work that creates repetitive stress. You can do one or two at a time rather
than all at once.
1. Lock your elbow and hold out your arm with the palm facing up. Extend the wrist and fingers back. With your other hand, assist that stretch FOR TWO SECONDS only, then release. Repeat 10 times, changing the angle of the stretch each time.
2. Holding your elbow straight and the palm facing down, extend the wrist and fingers back as far as possible. Use your other hand to assist that stretch for another two seconds. Repeat 10 times, changing the angle of the stretch each time.
3. Extend your elbow, palm down, and slowly flex the wrist downward. With your other hand, apply a two-second stretch. Repeat 10 times, changing the angle of the stretch each time.
4. Extend your elbow, palm down, and make a firm fist. Flex the wrist downward as far as possible. With the other hand, assist the stretch for two seconds. Repeat 10 times, changing the angle of the stretch each time.
