Yoga Therapy for the Hands, Wrists and Forearms
We use our hands for almost everything we do throughout the day, from checking email to chopping vegetables for dinner. On top of this, if your work requires you to use your hands in repetitive motions, then the muscles and joints of the hands, wrists and forearms are particularly at risk for inflammation.
Practicing this therapeutic sequence of exercises increases strength and flexibility in the small muscles of the hands and fingers, where over 25% of our body’s bones are located, helping reduce inflammation, removing built-up stress and increasing range of motion.

I have to say I am so surprised how loose and fantastic my hands feel after this. They were so relaxed it was almost a challenge to type! Thanks for the great yoga lesson!
I was a little sore after my first use of these stretches, but all of the numbness in my fingertip and the ache in my thumbs from giving massages eased immediately!!!
My right hand has been sore from writing. It pains me to type, too. But I felt an immediate improvement after this simple stretch. I'm going to make it a part of my routine.
I found this relaxing and good for my tennis elbow, thank you so much I will be using this regularly :)
