Stretch your wrists after typing
Two gentle stretches for the forearms that do all your typing and scrolling. About a minute, no equipment.
- Hold one arm straight out at waist height, palm down.
- Gently bend the wrist so your fingers point down, and hold for 15–30 seconds.
- Turn the palm up and gently bend the wrist down again. Hold for 15–30 seconds.
- Switch arms and repeat.
Tip: Keep it gentle: if a stretch isn't comfortable, stop. Wrist pain that doesn't go away is worth seeing a doctor or physio about.
Try it now: Do both stretches on both wrists before you scroll on.
