    Hi LuluLanGrand, I don’t like giving advice without seeing the person and getting a full history on them first. However, in general I’ll say that avoiding the movements that caused the pain, clicking, and inflammation in the first place should be avoided. Work through the hand and wrist mini programs on this channel emphasizing those that extend the wrist, thumb (like a “thumbs ups”) and fingers. Don’t push the? movements until you feel pain but rather stop before.

    You’re very? welcome ‘Lilibutter’! My hope with sharing these videos is to show you there IS a type of yoga that works for you. I’d love to hear about your continued successes, challenges, and thoughts as you’ve worked through the videos a little longer. If you have specific things you’d like me to cover, get in touch here or via info@kimmcneilyoga.ca

    Oh! this is so amazing!. I’m 29? y/o and was diagnosed with RA 4 years ago, it so important for me to have the chance of doing this exercises to keep my body as healty as possible. Here where I am, this kind of training is very expensive. I’ve been trying to do pilates but I’m scare of doing them on my own. I think your videos are a pretty safe way of trainig at home. Thanks so much for sharing them.

    You’re very welcome! Remember, it’s never too late to start using these poses and stretches to help yourself feel better. Every little bits counts. You shouldn’t think you have to start big but rather in smaller, gentler steps – you’ll see more improvement that way. As much as possible, work in a way that doesn’t increase your? pain or at the very least minimizes pain, stay focused on breathing normally throughout, and don’t push or fight your way through. More videos soon! ~ K

    This would be a WONDERFUL sequence of stretches and would be very nice for caregivers or anyone else who works with the elderly who may be in nursing homes? or assisted living centers. Many homes have sittercize type classes and this routine would surely help those who are losing the use of their hands due to arthritis and age. Thanks for posting. You were very thorough in your explanation and demonstration of technique.
