What should I do to relieve pain in my sore
and tight hands?
After several hours of
typing on the computer or working with your hands, your palms
and fingers can feel tired and sore. Here are three easy steps
to a tension-melting hand massage:
1. Squeeze
each finger all over and make small circular movements over
the joints.
2. Hold one finger at its base and
pull it gently, letting your grip slide toward your fingertip.
Repeat with each finger.
3. Turn your hand over
and support the back with your fingers. Work your thumb in
firm circles, moving all over your palm and around your
wrist.
Repeat with the other hand, then finish by
applying hand lotion. In three easy steps, you can ease
tightness in your hands and continue working
comfortably.
