  1. The exercises

    by , 08-03-2007 at 10:32 PM
    Okay, so here's what I'm supposed to do twice a day:

    Warm up the arm for 10 minutes and then do active stretching exercises. This means stretch the arm out and stretch the palm out, up, down, out 5 times each to a count of 15.

    This is followed by passive stretching of 10 repetitions to a count of 15 each.
