PNF Pronator Stretch
Exercise Overview
The pnf pronator stretch is a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercise to target the wrist pronators. Start by holding onto one end of a straight bar in a underhand grip. Have a band attached to it and anchored down by your foot while standing. Bend the elbow to 90 degrees. Allow the band to pull the straight bar and your wrist into supination to feel a stretch. Hold this stretching for 5-7 seconds. Then isometrically contract your pronators by rotating against the pull of the band without moving. Hold this contraction for 5 seconds then rest. Repeat as required.
