Exercise To Relax Your Hands After Using The Keyboard

Mentioned below are few simple exercises that you can do, after working on the keyboard for long hours. These exercises would relax the muscles of the arm and in turn make them stress free.

Wrist Flexion: Bend the hand being exercised backward (palm away from you ) and with the fingers of the other hand, apply pressure.

Wrist Extension: Bend the hand being exercised forward ( palm toward you ) and with the fingers of the other hand, apply pressure.

The next two exercises are similar to the above ones, except that an object, such as a pad provides the resistance to the hand, instead of your other hand.

Wrist Flexion against surface: With your arm held vertically, press your hand, palm down, on a firm surface.

Wrist Extension against surface: With your arm held vertically, press your hand, palm up, on a firm surface.

The next two exercises involve the side to side range of motion of the hand. Radial Deviation: Place your hand palm downward. Grasp the fingers of the hand to be exercised with your other hand and twist the hand toward you. Keep the hand horizontal.

Ulnar Deviation: Place your hand palm downward. Grasp the fingers of the hand to be exercised with your other hand and twist the hand away from you. Keep the hand horizontal.
