This nerve floss exercise is for the radial nerve, there is a deep and superficial branch but basically the nerve goes from the neck all the way down through to the thumb. In order to tension that nerve, you are going to flex the wrist fully and extend the elbow. Then you’re going to tilt the head towards that hand, you do not want to be stretching the nerve the opposite way. Next, you are going to relax the hand, while the hand is relaxed you can tilt your head the opposite way. You can bring your arm down if you want more traction. Repeat that 15 times daily.
