How to do it

Sit at a table with your sore forearm resting on it, palm down, and your hand just over the edge. Place your other hand on the back of the sore hand. Gently lift the sore hand up against your other hand, which stops it from moving. Use about half of your strength. Nothing should move. Hold, then relax. Keep breathing normally.

If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
