How it is done

Rest the forearm on the armrest of a chair while sitting. Keep the hand off the arm rest and palm facing the ceiling. With the other hand pull the hand in the direction of the floor and straighten the elbow. Feel the stretch on the inner aspect of the forearm and elbow. Hold and release the pull and return elbow to starting position.

Nothing here is a prescription. Your physiotherapist decides which of these are yours, and when.

The plan starts with an assessment.
