Happy Flexibility Friday!
I have tendonitis in my wrists ð Â I believe opening up so many IV bags, as a nurse, is what caused the inflammation to occur. Now, I always make time to stretch my wrist muscles, something that likely could have prevented tendonitis in the first place.
PREVENTION IS KEY!

Hi Flavia,
So sorry to hear about your neck/headaches. Iâve been there before. I just want to pass on something to you. I have had a few injuries in the past and have discovered a technique out there called MAT (muscle activation techniques). Unfortunately, not too many people have heard about this. I absolutely swear by it over any other type of therapy, including massage. http://www.muscleactivation.com/
I was a bit skeptical at first, until after a few sessions and my leg injury totally disappeared. I had constant pain for over a year from doing too much long distance running, but no more! I have also had amazing results with my lower back issues too. I have been going to see my therapist for several years as my body requires adjustment, or if something flairs up.
Being a nurse you may have already heard about this, but being a success case with this type of therapy I wanted to share it with you and with your followers.
Happy Friday and hope this was of interest (and help) to you, and maybe others!
Cheers,
Sandy
Thanks for sharing Sandy! I have heard Ben Pakulski talk about it, seems very effective!
Hey Sandy. I go to an MAT specialist in Toronto – Core Fitness. This technique is AMAZING! Thanks Sandy.
Youre right! I dont think about that ð thanks for the reminder!
You have beautiful arms! ð
Oh I need this one! Thank you!
Amen TGIF!!
These are great stretches, Thanks Flavia. I hope your headache is better, treat yourself to a massage!
I have the same problem. Good posture and massages really help. I also had carpotano so those stretches are very helpful. Thanks! ð
Hi Flavia,
My husband has been coming home with swollen hands and painful wrists from mousing so much at work.
I’m wondering how many of these he should do and how much pressure do you apply when doing them.
Thank you Flavia

Hi Judy!
See if he could try taking small breaks in between typing to move around his wrists and do these stretches to help prevent the pain and stiffness. 2 – 3 times per day is great, you can’t hardly stretch too much. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds. Go to the point of mild to moderate discomfort, stretching shouldn’t be painful.
Ice should relieve some swelling and Wobenzyme (i find it in a natural food store) is a really great joint protector and helps repair the tissues that have been damaged. For sure get him to stretch his wrists and forearms.
Thank you Flavia – I will definitely get some Wobenzyme as well. I had never heard of it. Say thanks so much for all the gifts. I especially loved seeing you cook and the video was so well done and the atmosphere was calming. Plus you have a beautiful kitchen to enjoy.
Thanks Judy
Thank you so much for the advice Anna.
Hey Flavia,
