Sit up straight by a table.
Lie the arm of the hand you would like to stretch over the table, and turn your palm to face inwards.
Your wrist and hand should lie over the edge of the table.
Keeping your wrist in a neutral position, tuck your thumb into the palm of your hand, bending at all of its joints.
Wrap your fingers around your thumb.
You may well feel a stretch at this point.
If you do, hold this position.
If you do not feel a stretch, begin to tilt your hand with your thumb downwards towards the floor.
Ensure the rest of your arm does not lift and your shoulder does not hunch.
Your hand should remain in alignment with your forearm.
When you feel a stretch, hold this position.
