Hi. I'm Theresa Murphy on behalf of Expert Village, in this clip doing more wrist stretches
for the forearms and the wrists and hands. So in order to start to get more mobility
and more precise movement in the bones of the wrist, and not just where the forearm
meets the wrist bones, is a series of stretches that you can do to help not only create the
movement, but also create space in these wrist bones. So getting a nice tight grip, interlacing
all the way to the webbing where you would wear your rings, I'm going to hang on tight.
Putting a little bit of pressure, you can see the discoloration in my hands affecting
blood vessels. And I'm going to pull the hands apart, but hang on tight. Maintain this traction.
I'm going to try to stretch the back of one wrist and the front of the other wrist at
the same time. I'm focusing on the movement being isolated right in the bones of the wrists--in
the carpal bones, trying to help benefit the tunnel of the carpal--the carpal tunnel. Creating
space and doing the hands in this position, also horizontal to the floor, so I'm still
hanging on, I'm still pulling with a lot of intensity to create a stretch in the back
of the wrist. I'm working my hands in a little different way than we might when we're typing
or chopping vegetables or knitting.
