Reset Your Wrists in 5 Minutes


Listen Later

Most of us never think about our wrists — until they hurt.

If you spend hours at a desk, on your phone, or doing any kind of manual work, your wrists are quietly accumulating tension. This short reset is a simple way to give them some attention before that tension becomes a problem.

In this video, I walk through a few gentle movements designed to reintroduce sensation and mobility to the wrists and hands:

Starting on hands and knees, you’ll lift and lower the heels of your palms to wake up the joint. Then a seated wrist circle lets you explore how weight shifts through the hands in different directions. Finally, some finger clawing and spreading movements help bring circulation and awareness back to the fingertips.

The whole thing takes about five minutes, and you can modify every single movement based on where your wrists are today — whether they’re stiff and sensitive or you’re an experienced hand balancer looking to refine your foundation.

The goal isn’t to stretch aggressively or push through discomfort. It’s simply to pay attention — to feel what’s there.

Give it a try and notice how your hands feel afterward. That aliveness in the fingertips at the end? That’s what we’re after.

These concepts are drawn from my books Body Mind Movement and Spinal Intelligence — now available for pre-order.
