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!

Incapacitated through relaxation! I think there is no higher compliment to a yoga teacher and yoga practice.

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!!!

So great to hear, Rowan-Foxhorn. I have Thai and Ayurvedic massage training, so I know all about the challenges of sustaining healthy, happy body through that practice. It's a great set of exercises for yourself and to give your clients - I'm sure all of them could use this, too!
Thanks for practicing,
Erica

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.

Hey Daveofnorway,
Are you still practicing this regularly? I would love and update on your tennis elbow. It's amazing how much the smaller, more mobile joints can take up slack and compensate for larger joints that have tightness or inflammation. I'm so glad to hear that this makes a difference for you.
Thanks for giving it a try,
Erica
