59: Hand Care

Listen Later
Stretches we mentioned in this week's episode
  1. Front of wrist stretch: turn palm up and use the other hand to pull fingertips down and back (toward the floor/elbow)
  2. Palm stretch: backs of hands facing each other, hook your thumbs and pull (gently!)
  3. Palm stretch 2: stretch your pinkies back with your other hand
  4. Knuckle decompression: pull gently on each finger with other hand
  5. Myofascial release of the forearm - squeeze one forearm with the other tight enough that you can move the skin back and forth about an inch. Push down toward wrist and hold for 60-90 seconds. Move to another spot on your forearm and do it again. You don’t need to do every inch of your forearm!
    6. Tools and supportive aid we mentioned this week:
    • BioTone Muscle and Join Relief Therapeutic Massage Creme
    • Compression gloves (whatever you want, just a few that I like):
      • Isotoner
      • Vive Arthritis and Compression Gloves
