You might think not using them will make them feel better, but this is actually incorrect. Hands are comprised of many different joints which need to be kept moving to maintain joint health.


There are several modifications one can perform to help the joints in the hands feel better. Also, strengthening your shoulder and shoulder blades will take demand off of your hands. A stronger shoulder helps the hands to perform less work.
