Quick Exercises for Tendonitis

By Nicole Duncan

The more often you find time to fit these stretches into your workday, says Corte Madera, California, chiropractor Pali Cooper, the better your forearms will feel.

1. Sit in a chair with your feet on the floor, feeling the three corners of your feet: the big-toe ball, the little-toe ball, and the heel’s center. This activates your core and helps you sit up straight. Now stretch your right arm out in front of you, palm facing the floor. Gently press down on the backside of your outstretched hand with your left hand until your right wrist bends and your palm faces you. Hold for several seconds, and breathe. Reverse arms and repeat.

2. Return to the starting position in No. 1. Gently grasp the palm side of your fingers, pulling them up toward you so the backside of your right hand faces you. Hold for several seconds, and breathe. Reverse arms and repeat.
