Tiger Tail Forearm
Description
The tiger tail forearm roll is a self-massage technique using a tiger tail (handheld massage stick) to roll out the forearm muscles. It releases tightness in the wrist flexors and extensors caused by gripping work, climbing, lifting, and typing. It is essential for anyone with chronic forearm tightness.
