by: Giselle

Hello,

I wanted to comment on your painful problem with your hands. First, find out what your doctor suggests. If he does not give you any limitations, I would start a gentle practice of stretching the wrists in all directions, then gently going into a downward dog position to further strengthen the wrists, hands, arms and shoulders. There are also many other ways to start the strengthening and stretching process with other yoga asanas that put emphasis on the hands and wrists. Go gently and be consistent and I think you'll see an improvement over time.
