It means kinds of persuade or force somebody to do something ? Could somebody explain this? Thank you!

The idea is that of forcing someone into doing something by metaphorically twisting their arm:
to get someone to do what you want by making it very difficult for him or her to refuse:
- I didn’t want to go to the exhibition, but Linda twisted my arm.

It does not have to imply cruelty or unfairness. I didn't want to go to Uncle Joe's party, but my sister twisted my arm, and later I was glad she did. Jan 12, 2019 at 11:14
