Neck Should Eblow Wrist Theraputic Sequence

So much of our life is spent in front of us. Think of all the many things you do with your hands in front of your...Texting, computering, reading, paper work, crocheting, yoga, eating, driving, pushing strollers, playing spots... This always reaching forward tightens and impingines parts of our body that can cause pain, discomfort and injuries to our neck, shoulders, eblows, and wrists. This sequence is about opening up the front of our body and as a results clears away many of the injuries assoiciated with these areas.

Draw from your fingers back through your shoulder blades plugging the head of the arm bone back into its home the shoulder socket. Press the pinky finger into the wall as you draw the head of the arm bones away from the wall then turn your chest 180 degrees away from your hand and extend from your chest back through your outstretched hand.

 Seated Wrist stretches.
Watch the inside of your wrist as you extend your wrist back in the air. You might notice a little bulge that appears. That the wrist retinaculum. We don’t want that to bulge out so with your other hand wrap your hand around your wrist and the retinaculum and apply pressure into the forearm and traction it down. With your hand supporting you’re the retinaculum down you can stretch your wrist and hand in all different directions as you keep pulling the retinaculum down. Yummy. Repeat on second side. This will train that retinaculum to stay sucked into the forearm.
Table with hands a little further forward then shoulders and test the wrists after that wrist stretching retinaculum integration, the wrists should feel stronger
