Kneeling Wrist Flexor Stretch

Begin in a kneeling position with your knees on the ground. Extend one arm in front of you with the palm facing up.

Use your other hand to gently pull back on the fingers of the extended arm, feeling a stretch in the wrist and forearm.

  1. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds.
  2. Switch arms and repeat.
  3. Ensure to keep your shoulder relaxed during the stretch.

How to perform the Kneeling Wrist Flexor Stretch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Kneeling Wrist Flexor Stretch using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your forearms rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
