WOD Doc: Mobility Solution for Hand Pain
Eipsode 106: Have you begun to notice hand pain, or a subtle weakness in your thumb? It may be overused and this area is often neglected during rehab. Think about it: various barbell grips, handstands, push-ups…adds up.
On a flat surface, grab your favorite myofascial ball and roll your hand over the ball in 15 clockwise and counter-clockwise movements. Then, using your other hand, do the same movements which will add additional pressure. Finally, using the ‘pin and stretch’ technique showcased here, open that hand and press away.
BUT WAIT! Don’t forget to take care of the other hand! You use them both, don’t you?
