Massage at this time of year comes in handy

I also do some work helping people with hand injuries gain and maintain mobility.  This can be especially important at this time of year when the days grow colder and our muscles tense with the drop in temperature.

I've found some superb diagrams on the From the Tiger's Mouth blog that show the muscles, tendons and ligaments I am working on:

 I've just seen this on google+ and like it.  I can't say fairer than that:

Carpel Tunnel Massage

I gave one of my friends a hand massage yesterday.  She's been suffering from carpel tunnel syndrome.  I massaged the front and back of her hand and up her forearm.  This morning I found this video.  From 4:25min onwards it covers some techniques to use for losening the muscles around the nerve in the forearm to ease the numbness. 

 I found this helpful.  I hope you do too.

Something that I and others may find helpful to remember
