Thumb Stretch

Happy Holidays! This month’s WOW will focus on massaging and stretching the muscles of your hand. Typing, texting, and other hand related work can make your forearms and fingers sore. Massage and stretching can help alleviate this pain so you can feel your best.

The more you can stretch out your hands, the quicker you can unwrap presents!

Exercise: Thumb stretch.

How to perform: Gently pull on your thumb to feel a deep stretch. You want your thumb and your index finger to form the letter “L”. This is a great stretch for individuals who use the phone frequently.

Duration: Repeat for 30 seconds on the left side and repeat on the right.
