Condition

Stretching

Stand at a table with the hand of the arm you’re exercising resting on the table. With your other hand, grasp the elbow of the arm you’re exercising. Extend that arm as far as possible and apply additional pressure with your other hand to increase the stretch. Hold the position for 10 seconds, then release the pressure and bend your elbow slightly before repeating the exercise.

Sit on a chair. Bend the elbow of your working arm and wrap your other hand around your wrist. Bend your working arm as much as possible and apply additional pressure with your opposite hand.

Stand with your upper arms close to your body. Keep your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle. Slowly rotate your hands so that the backs of your hands face upwards and then downwards in turn. Hold the end position for a few seconds before rotating to the opposite end position.

Place your training arm over the edge of a table with your palm facing down. Press with the other arm on the back of the hand so that the front of the training arm becomes increasingly stretched. Repeat the exercise, pressing the training arm hand first to one side and then to the other side. Finally, turn the arm so that the palm is facing upwards. With the healthy arm, press on the palm of the hand so that there is increasing tension on the underside of the training arm. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds and then start one of the other exercises.

Strength
