This gentle nerve glide is great for improving mobility in the neck, shoulder, and arm. It’s especially useful for anyone experiencing tightness from poor posture, repetitive strain, or nerve sensitivity.
How to Do It:
- Stand tall and pretend you’re holding a bowling ball in one hand.
- Raise your arm slightly in front of you to create a small amount of shoulder flexion.
- Flex your wrist downward as if you’re cradling the ball.
- Slowly lower your arm and rotate your wrist, turning your palm up as you reach behind you—like you’re trying to grab something.
- Move slowly and smoothly through each rep, focusing on a gentle stretch, not a strain.
- Work through about 20 reps, staying relaxed and controlled.
This movement promotes healthy nerve gliding and helps reduce tension through the arm and upper body.
