Step 2: Enhance your flexibility We are creatures of movement. Our body systems rely on movement to function properly. Studies show that even for young people, 2 weeks of physical inactivity leads to 30% loss of muscle mass(2). In turn this also leads to loss of flexibility within the joints of the body. Your hand, wrist, and elbow joints work together to allow you to lift, grip, twist, and move freely. When one of these areas becomes tighter, it can double or triple the load on the other joints.

Did you know...

The majority of the muscles that make your hand and fingers move are located in your foream and many attach to the elbow area. Therefore, what happens at the elbow, affects the hand, and vice versa.
