This month it’s been a no-brainer to choose the topic of my newsletter. Why is that? Because my body started hurting in a place I’ve never hurt before! My hand, wrist and forearm…
And what has lead me down this path?
Well, I normally don’t spend a lot of time on my laptop or on my phone but all a sudden I had a week when I worked very intensely on those devices. And voila…the perfect storm happened and I ended up with a lot of pain and discomfort I didn’t know existed! Don’t stop completely, even if you feel better, because your symptoms may return quickly
So in this video I would like to share with you what I did to get rid of my forearm, wrist and hand pain. The only prop I’m using is a small rubber roller (it’s a foot roller but it works great on the hands and forearms as well). If you don’t have one, you can try and use a tennis ball instead.
These exercises really helped me get rid of the tightness, pain and tingling I was feeling in my hands and forearms. I’m sure they will help you too, just be consistent and do them a few times a day for at least a week. Don’t stop completely, even if you feel better, because your symptoms may return quickly.
These exercises are great too, if you have a job or hobby where you use your hands a lot. For example hair stylists, massage therapists, artists, cyclists, skiers, etc.
With these activities the arms are usually extended out in front of the body with the arms on a downward slant.
My recommendation is that don’t wait until you have symptoms, start to maintain the health of your hands, wrists and forearms with these easy to follow exercises.
