Wrist and Forerarm pain fix!
This week's video dives into an exercise most of you have likely never heard of; Myofascial Flossing with the flossing band.
This requires that you own a flossing band which can be purchased from amazon or from the lovely staff at CCSR next time you visit :)
The benefit of flossing over regular stretching is that nothing grabs the superficial fascia during regular stretching. Grab a good old fashioned rubber band and experience a release like you never have before.
Old fashioned stretching puts alot of stress on the wrist ligaments which over time will cause a hypermobile wrist joint. This causes a double whammy: Your wrist and forearm pain remains, but now you have a hypermobile wrist as well!
I know this is all new but once you start using a flossing band for your forearms and wrist you likely will never go back to conventional stretching.
Get ready to feel the burn!
