If you spend a lot of time typing, gripping, or using your hands throughout the day, this gentle stretch can help release tension in your fingers and forearms—especially around the pinky and ring fingers.
How to Do It:
- Bring your hands together in a prayer position with your elbows in front of your body.
- Slowly press your hands outward, keeping your palms together.
- Pause when you feel a gentle stretch—often felt in the fourth and fifth fingers or along the forearms.
- Move slowly and mindfully, staying within a comfortable, pain-free range.
This stretch is a small but effective way to reduce stiffness and restore mobility to your hands—ideal for desk workers, athletes, or anyone recovering from repetitive hand strain.
