Massage: Forearm Pain Release

Say Bye-Bye to your forearm pain with this movement.

This exercise is categorized as a muscle knot release.

Here’s what muscles are involved in this movement:

  • Flexor Carpi Radialis
  • Yep, that’s about it

This exercise doesn’t require any equipment – all you need is your body!

The goal of this movement is to release the muscle knot in the muscle known as the Flexor Carpi Radialis, which can cause pain to radiate down to the wrist –  mimicking  symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Sometimes this muscle knot can mimic symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as well – since the referral pattern of this knot can move down towards your wrist and hand.

This is typically where people feel symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – but sometimes it’s not it!

It could 100% be a muscle knot – and in this case the muscle we’re talking about is the Flexor Carpi Radialis. A fancy name for a muscle in our forearm that flexes our wrist towards us.
