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 do a lot of typing in my work, and boy do I need to do these exercises more often. I also tend to have really cold hands and feet, and this practice warmed up my fingers very nicely.
It doesn't need any equipment, and you stand the whole time, and it's only 10 minutes. How much better can you get for those who are on a tight schedule?
Hello, Thank you very much for this hand yoga practice video. I crochet and knit a lot and was wondering: When is the best time for me to do this practice? Before OR after I begin to crochet/knit? Thank you!
