I’ve got another health tip for you. This one goes to those who work with their hands and wrist, for example mechanics, hair stylists, rock climbers, desk jobs, and computer workers. The big thing is that you use your hands a lot and there a lot of muscles in your forearms and hands that get overworked. What you need to do is every once in a while, 30 minutes to 1 hour, take a break. And a good thing that you can do is something like shown in the video. So try and get that motion in the wrists and the fingers, but the wrist especially because there are a lot of muscles in the forearm that come from the elbow and cross the wrist and that is what you are needing to stretch out. That’s what I’ve got for you today. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.
Knee Pain From Movement
Going back to the patellofemoral pain syndrome, let us take a look at the knee. The kneecap should move in a little groove on the femur and if it does not, it can cause pain. The big concern is that this movement of the kneecap is determined by either the hip above it, or the ankle below it. If the weakness in the hip is unable to support a good angle of the knee, this is a common cause of knee pain. The other is the ankle not moving up, dorsiflexion, enough will typically cause the foot to flare out and change the orientation of the tibia and then effecting the knee positioning.
