I read out what you wrote to my dad and he is now massaging the extensor compartment of his forearm with a deodorant can and a massage roller. Also has the forearm strap on.
I’ve got a myotherapy degree I don’t use much so I’m happy to see someone get some value from it.
He should consider using the rounded edge corner on the base of the deodorant can to work the muscles rather than any rolling pin type motion. It’s using the gua-sha technique from Chinese medicine about scraping the tissue. Its said to help release fascial adhesions / attachments which there are a lot of in the forearm because there are many little muscles than can sort of stick to each other. I don’t have any science to reference that to, another reason why I’m not working in the field.

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it.
Are you a physio perchance?
