Step 4: Enhance your strength There are approximately 640muscles in your body that help youmove on a daily basis. Your finger and wrist joints rely heavily on muscle support to make them function properly. Weakness in any one area produces a cascade of problems in other areas, even further up the arm.
Tennis and golfer’s elbow are overuse injuries that are often attributed to shoulder weakness.
When you sit for prolonged periods in the day, your muscles atrophy or become weak. In addition, with repetitive strain or injuries, certain muscles around the wrist and elbow can be injured. Injuries weaken all the muscles around the affected area, especially the smaller muscles that control the intricate movements of the wrist and finger joints.
By strengthening specific muscles, your body can restore control and in turn decrease the strain, resulting in long-term pain relief.
