The pronator teres is stretched with supination of the forearm at the radioulnar joints. Be sure to keep the (upper) arm stabilized.
Notes:
- It is important that the client is not simply laterally/externally rotating the arm at the shoulder joint.
- Supination of the forearm with the elbow joint flexed will move this stretch to the pronator quadratus.
