Yoga practice and wrist care

Modern people have been accompanying computers for a long time, which causes not only shoulder problems, back problems, but also wrist joints that are stiff due to long-term mouse holding. I previously heard a saying on the Internet that in a few years, human hands may degenerate to only index fingers and middle fingers left-used to control the mouse. Although it was a joke, it made us start to face our bodies-which are gradually deteriorating.

Starting next month, Fupu Yoga will add a special course-back pain repair to the course.

Here we introduce a few simple movements to help you restore the flexibility of your wrist. You can try them. At the same time, these movements also have obvious effects on older finger joint pain. If your family member has such trouble, you can also recommend him (her) to practice these movements. It's very simple, let's get started!

1. Hand movement

Simply sitting or sitting on a chair can also be used

Raise your hands horizontally in front of your shoulders (Note: Your shoulders must be relaxed)

Inhale: Palm down, open your fingers, and do your best to open them

Exhale: Place your thumb in your palm and clench your fists hard

repeated 10 times

When practicing, pay attention to breathing, silent counting, and hand movements

2. Wrist bending exercises

Sitting as above

Raise your hands horizontally in front of your shoulders, with your palms facing down

Keep your palms open and your fingers straight throughout the exercise

Inhale: Stretch your arms and slowly open your hands up and back, as if against a wall, with your fingertips facing up

Exhale: Hands down, fingertips towards the ground

Throughout the exercise, always keep your elbows straight and do not bend your knuckles or heel

Start the next round with your hands up

repeated 10 times

3. Wrist joint rotation

Sit in a basic sitting position and keep your back straight

A. Stretch your right arm forward at shoulder height, clench your thumb inside, and use your left hand to support your right hand if necessary.

This is the preparation position.

Slowly turn your wrist to make sure your palm is always down.

Keep your arms straight at all times, allowing your wrist to circle as much as possible.

Turn clockwise for 10 times and counterclockwise for 10 times.

Practice the same with your left hand

B. Stretch your arms forward at shoulder height, and always straighten your arms

Turn both wrists in the same direction at the same time

Practice 10 times, and then turn in the opposite direction 10 times after completing it.

C. Practice the same as B, but turn your wrists in the opposite direction

After practicing 10 times, practice in the opposite direction 10 times.

These three exercises are very beneficial for arthritis related to opponents and fingers, and can also relieve related joint tension caused by long-term writing, typing, etc. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
