Step 1
Extend both of your arms straight out in front of your body with your palms facing out and your fingers pointing downward. You should be able to visualize placing your palms flat against a wall with your fingers pointing down toward the floor. Hold this position for about fifteen seconds. This stretches the wrist flexor on both arms at the same time.
-
Step 2
Place your palms flat together in a manner reminiscent of praying or a yoga pose. Start about chest level and gently push your hands down towards the floor. Keep going until your wrists start to separate. This is another stretch that works both arms at the same time.
-
Step 3
Bend your arm slightly and turn your palms upwards with fingers pointed toward the ground. With your other hand, grab all four fingers and gently pull down towards the floor. This stretches the wrist flexor directly around the wrist. Hold for about fifteen seconds and repeat with the other arm.
-
Step 4
Straighten your arm out in front of you, palms facing up with fingers pointing down. Grasp all four fingers with your free hand and gently pull down towards the floor. This stretch is very similar to the previous stretch, except straightening the arm stretches the wrist flexor muscle along the length of the entire arm. Hold for fifteen seconds and repeat with other arm.

Step 5
Modify steps 3 and 4 to accommodate stretching the wrist flexor around the thumb. Repeat the same process, but instead of pulling the four fingers toward the floor, you will pull the thumb toward the floor.
