Stiff, painful fingers?
Arthritis in the hands can make even simple daily things difficult and can be very frustrating π
But I want you to know there is something you can do to help loosen up your fingers and reduce arthritis pain during the day βπ½
Just like movement can be so incredibly beneficial for other joints like hips and knees- movement can also be vital for hand arthritis relief too ππ½
The key is making sure you are moving in ways that donβt significantly increase your pain β
Any of these three moves can help you to find some relief. Choose one or choose all 3 if they feel good. Being gentle is key as the finger joints are small π€πΌ
The goal is to find movements to help maintain mobility of the fingers but also to improve blood flow and reduce stiffness β¨
A few repetitions can make a big difference.
You can also run your hands under warm water- especially in the morning if you notice significant stiffness. You can also wear hand compression gloves to help with pain and/or stiffness throughout the day βπ½
Hand arthritis can be tricky but motion is lotion! Iβm here to help find ways to keep your hands healthy and mobile! β
Remember- consistency is key. These movements may need a few days to start producing results βπ½
Youβve got this!!
