Stretch out your hands and wrists.
Do it now:
1. face your Dominant palm towards your face
2. Flatten and straiten your fingers together and make your palm and fingers flat as possible
3. Place your non-dominant hand on only the fingers and pull them down and away from your palm
In sort of an “arch-like” fashion.
4. hold and Breathe in the stretch for about 1-7 or more minutes. repeat for other hand.
Stretch thumb in similar manner with the goal of stretching the palm tight.
For the wrists:
1. put your palms together in front of your chest between your pecs
2. adjust your forearms till they are pointing strait into each other at the base of the palm
3. hold that, intensify it by lowering your hands (Don’t do this too much - it’s a tough angle for the wrist and you might over-stretch the ligaments holding the wrist joint together)
Disclaimer: try this stuff at your own risk and be responsible with your body - when you feel pain during a stretch, be smart about it and don’t keep holding the stretch. Assess why you might be feeling the pain, adjust your body and if the pain doesn’t go away get further information. If it’s simply a painful stretch - be with the pain of the stretch and get to know the difference between harmful pain with stretching and soreness that happens when a muscle is being stretched and squeezed in a healthy way. when in doubt - call a yoga center, talk to a buddy that does alot of yoga or some kind of expert. your body is smart - you will know when you’ve found the right answer to your body questions.
