If you have severe pain, you are likely to suffer from "mobile hand".
In addition, finger weakness, poor grip, poor fine motor control and other conditions also indicate that there is a big problem with hand function.
If the mobile phone is not dealt with in time, it will also cause new problems such as wrist pain, elbow joint pain, shoulder and neck stiffness, limited joint movement, and lack of strength after a long time;Pain can also be exacerbated during fitness training, affecting practice, such as significant wrist snapping tenderness during support movements.
The hand is composed of many small short bones, and the wrist joint has a complex structure, which has a high degree of flexibility, and can complete very fine movements with the cooperation of fingers, palms, and wrists. Perfect hand function can help create a tandem between the hand, torso, and spine.

The movement of holding the mobile phone does not use all the functions of the fingers, palms, wrists and forearms, and in the long run, some of the functions of the hand are partially lost and some are strained (such as the thumb and little finger). When grasping, grasping, and supporting, the palms of the hands cannot be opened, and the finger tips are weak or unable to exert strength, resulting in the joints of the upper limbs becoming support points.

The joints of the upper limbs are originally only to transmit force, because of the lack of hand function, the conduction of force is impaired, and when supporting or balancing, the wrist, elbow hyperextension, and scapular lock can only be pressed to maintain the movement, and the force stasis is stuck at the joint, increasing the risk of joint injury.

But the phone must be used again. What to do?Self-training begging**!
Starting from the hands, through training to strengthen the function, restore the structure, ** damage.
The hand training movements in the original body training are trained for the basic functions of the hand, such as grasping, grasping, holding and picking, and the hand is autonomous, three-dimensional extension and pulling, and the motor ability of the hand is restored and strengthened.

Recommended Exercise: Kneeling with hands open.
Establish a strong connection from the hand to the arm, shoulder blade, and chest cavity.
Restore and strengthen the function of all parts of the upper limbs, and help solve problems such as shoulder joint limitations.
Recommended exercises: Cross Pushing Mountain
By extending the left and right hands infinitely to the sides of the body, the shoulder blades of the armband can be stretched horizontally to the sides of the body.
Different from single-joint, single-angle passive stretching, this horizontal and vertical extension can help the shoulder and neck structures of the upper limbs fully open, release the pressure on the shoulder, neck and surrounding tissues, and balance the overall myofascial tension. The space opens, the pressure is released, and the pain is naturally relieved.
