Taking a Stand Against Hand, Wrist and Elbow Discomfort
Your hands are two of the most important tools you have for navigating through life. They allow you to complete everyday tasks such as eating, opening doors, typing on a computer and for some, communicating. Underneath the surface of our hands is one of the most intricate networks of bones, ligaments, nerves, muscles and tendons, all of which must move and function in a precise and harmonious manner.
