A Stronger You Means a Healthier You.
Joints can become unstable, especially after an injury or surgery. Several interconnected joints in the fingers, hand, and wrist need mobility while remaining strong and stable. This requires a complicated ballet of precision, coordination, and movement of the muscles and nerves in the forearm and hand. With acute injuries or chronic repetitive overuse injuries, the coordination of the muscles surrounding the joints can become unbalanced and painful. Changes in the normal functioning of the muscles influence the amount of pressure on the joints, increasing the likelihood of inflammation and pain. The elbow and wrist joints depend on the strength of the forearm muscles for correct alignment and stability of the wrist and hand joints. The hand needs the forearm muscles but relies on the intrinsic muscles (muscles in the hand) for strength and stability.
