Description

Lie on your back with your arms along your body. Bend your elbow and clench your fist, then bring your hand toward your shoulder. Hold this position for a few seconds. Then, straighten the elbow, open the hand, and hold again for a few seconds. Repeat this movement. Make sure not to let the hand roll toward your stomach during the exercise. To increase the range of motion in extension, you can place a rolled towel under the affected elbow. Keep the elbow under the towel during the flexion.
