Shoulder and hand movements

According to doctors, many young people now suffer from diseases such as periarthritis of the shoulder, which are diseases that only the elderly suffer from. Why is this? It turns out that it is because office workers are busy with work every day and have to work overtime until late at night. They sleep in at home the next morning and have no time for morning exercises. Over time, various physical discomforts will occur. In fact, there is no need to go outside to exercise. Office workers can do some simple exercises in the office every day to help themselves stay healthy. So what are some shoulder and hand exercises?

Due to the increasing work pressure, many people have become lazy. The morning exercise habit passed down from ancient times has also been abandoned by people. Instead, they sleep in every morning. In fact, this is very bad for the body. It not only makes people lazy, but also affects their physical health.

Hands are the most flexible organs in the human body. Not only that, hands are connected to the brain and many internal organs. However, we often neglect our hands during health-preserving exercises. In fact, just spending a dozen minutes a day moving your fingers can have a good health-preserving effect.

Commonly used hand health care methods:

Hand rubbing method: Put your palms together, rub them up and down until they feel hot, then wash your hands, rub your left hand with your right hand, and your right hand with your left hand, 20 times each.

Dribbling method: You can use a jade ball, iron ball or walnut. Hold 2 in your hand, and then push with your fingers to make it rotate in your palm. A skilled person can hold 3 to 4. You can dribble the ball in your free time regardless of the time or frequency, and walnuts are the best.

Finger twisting method: Hold the right thumb with your left hand and twist it 10 times, then hold the right index finger and twist it 10 times, and so on. After you have finished twisting your right fingers, hold the left fingers with your right hand and twist them.
