Day 18
Duration: 00:18:08
Today you’ll be working on strengthening the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms.
Pro tip: If your hands feel inflamed and they’re swollen after strength work or pole work, try soothing them with ice or very cold water. If your hands are achy stiff and sore, with no swelling, try heat using either a heating pad or very warm water. Fun fact: Cannabis can help reduce inflammation, soreness helping to improve recovery time. Try a topical with THC and CBD or consume through your preferred method only if it’s legal in your area.

Hand and wrist strength routine
Hi Veena, my left wrist has been feeling a little sore. Could be because I overdid it on violin. Anything you would suggest for sore wrists that would be safe but still strengthening? Or would you suggest just holding off on the wrists until they’ve recovered a bit more from the extra stress?
I recently started playing guitar, and boy my finger joints and wrist gets sore so I get it. I like to use a 1:1 topical of CBD and THC on my hands at night when I go to bed and it really helps. If it’s not a new acute/sudden pain you should be fine still working on strength. In fact I suggest doing Ulnar pulls after Violin to balance out the muscles used for playing https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e7504b1-1c04-4938-a5de-4bd9ac110005 Giving the hands a good stretch after every pole and music session will help too.
