Pronation and Supination of the Forearm Rehab | Theraband Flexbar

Theraband Flexbar is an excellent tool for rehab in pronation and supination of the forearm. I demonstrate FOUR exercises for forearm strength and rehab that you can do at home with the Theraband Flexbar. With the Flexbar you get concentric and eccentric resistance to help build forearm strength. These exercises are great for climbers, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes, CrossFit athletes, wrestlers, gamers, weight lifters, and anyone looking to build size, strength, and resiliency in their forearm muscles.

Supination and pronation anatomy can be confusing to remember but isn't super important unless you're really trying to understand the anatomy and actions of muscles and joints. Supination is the motion of rotating the hand from a palm-down position to a palm-up position. The goofy way I always remembered this motion was that I was rotating my palm upwards like I was holding a bowl of soup. If you remember the supination motion, then you can remember that the pronation of the forearm is simply the opposite, rotating the hand so the palm is facing towards the floor.

These exercises can be helpful for conditions like pronator teres syndrome, golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), radial nerve entrapment, little league elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow tendonitis, elbow bursitis, radiating and tingling/numbness in the hand or forearm, or generally for any pain or weakness in the elbow, forearm, wrist or hand.
