disobey_gravityAnyone have any suggestions or experience with unfucking your flexors/extensors with tools and no second person?
The thing is, I've lost a lot of flexibiity in my wrists and I'm honestly at a loss for how to go about addressing it -- there isn't really any convenient way to foam roller them without having someone else doing it for me? And stretching is, eh, long story but, most of the stretches people give for the wrists are not helpful for me.
I'm pretty sure mostly I just need to break up the adhesions accumulated from years of doing massage without worrying about what it was doing to my flexibility (yes, that was foolish, I was a) young and b) very justifiably more pressed about other things when it came to my practice). But I've been stumped for how to actually DO this for myself without assistance and I cannot, sadly, afford to get a massage for myself every other day. *wry*

I also know a lot of climbers who use tennis balls/lacrosse balls/foam balls/foam rollers, and bodyweight to do their own massaging. There's always someone at my gym doing some sort of weird contortion to press an odd part of their body into a ball.
