Forearm and Hand
Links to Pain Relief and
Restorative Therapy websites
 The hand is capable of some of the most complex movements and mechanical
functions in the human body. The muscles that power these the major
movements on the hand are located further up the limb in the forearm and the
functions are transmitted to the hand and fingers via Tendons.
These tendonds have to travel to their destination, along with blood vessels and
nerves through a passage way in the wrist called the Carpel Tunnel. We use
our hands all the time, at work, on the computer, in sport, and over time, due
to extended and sometimes overuse, the resulting trauma causes tightening,
thickening, and and shortening of the soft tissue in the forearm and wrist.
This is the cause of pain from muscle tightness.

To restore the condition of the forearm, wrist and hand, the myofascial tissue
(muscles and tendons) length and form must be restores. Besides focused
restorative treatment for quick restoration, focused stretching is one of the
best modes of self treatment that can bring relief and maintain this comfortable
state.
In this section you will find a list of stretches for different parts of the
forearm and hand that can help bring you relief in this area as well as help
restore its condition.
