Arthrosis of the hands develops rapidly, accompanied by painful sensations and limiting the mobility of the hand and fingers.
Of course, only a doctor can prescribe the treatment of this disease. But it is possible to alleviate suffering with useful exercises that are aimed at improving fine motor skills, relieving inflammation and strengthening cartilage nutrition.
If it is difficult to perform the exercises, then before gymnastics, try to warm them up with a heating pad for 10 minutes.
Perform all exercises 4 - 8 times for each hand.
If a sharp pain is felt, it is better to refuse to perform the exercise.
