For happier, healthier mitts.
But when was the last time you purposefullystretched your hands?
Heres everything to know about improving your hand mobility so your mitts can stay nice and loose.
And thats when hand pain and stiffness set in.
Simple things, like holding your toothbrush, might cause them to cramp up.
In general, it is beneficial to stretch daily or up to twice per day, Bucio says.
Bucio also recommends taking stretch breaks during repetitive tasks so you dont overdo it.
Choose a few moves and give them a try.
Youll do handshakes, prayer poses, interlocked hand squeezes, and a deep tissue thumb massage.
Remember, wrist mobility is key, too.
Try spreading your fingers out one by one, as demonstrated in this TikTok.
Your hands do a lot for you, so treat them to a series of stretches on the regular.
