Massager: Massage for 2-4 minutes
/ 4 times per day
Hold the dome of the massager in the palm of your hand; place
the elliptical pressure points over the forearm.
Slowly and firmly slide the massager over the tight muscles starting
from just past the elbow traveling sown the muscles of the forearm.
The massager will
release cross fibers of the muscles to enhance circulation for
improved muscle health.
MAGNE Systems
Magnetic Support:
Recommended
to wear 4-6 hrs / day, during the active part of the work day
and always during exercise or sport.
Place the
magnetic strip over the painful region of the forearm muscle closest
to elbow. Only gentle to medium pressure is needed to brace the
forearm tendons. To much pressure will cause hand numbness. The
brace will disperse stress and vibration from the forearm tendons
during all activity.
Stretch Band:
The stretch
band provides medium to heavy resistance during exercises.
Perform exercises up to 3x daily.
Extension Stretch(1) : Palm up; Using the opposite hand, put
pressure over the palm/fingers bending the wrist back until a
stretch is felt on underside of the forearm.
Flexion Stretch : Palm down; Using the opposite hand, put
pressure over the top of the wrist/fingers until you feel a stretch
over the outside part of the forearm. Rest Forarm over table
(2A) or over Knee(2B)
Forearm Exercise
Positioning:
Rest your
forearm on a table or along your leg while sitting.
Hang the wrist off the edge of the table or knee to add support
to the forearm.
Elbow can be slightly bent. Hold the Band lightly in your hand
with the other
end anchored to the floor under your foot.
Flexion (images on right) : Palm up with arm resting on table. Hold band lightly and move the wrist up and down in a controlled motion. Remember to move through a full range of motion. The wrist and forearm may shake due to lack of muscle motor control. 20x/3 sets
Extension (images below) : Start
with palm down; repeat movements as above.

Palm up; hold band with tale on the thumb side of the hand. Rotate
the palm counterclockwise with the right hand or clockwise with

lightly around all fingers. Spread fingers apart against the resistance
of the rubber band, return to start with all fingers touching

Internal Rotation: The band should be perpendicular
to the wrist and pulling away from the body. Rotate the shoulder
inwards across your chest thus increasing tension on the band.
Control the tension as the arm rotates in and out away from body.

The band should be perpendicular to the wrist pulling across the
body. Rotate the shoulder outwards, return to start position with
a controlled motion.
