Since ancient times, doctors have developed various methods to strengthen and improve health without medication. Due to its practicality, simplicity and efficiency with no side effects these methods are very popular and are widely used in our days not only in China but also in many Wellness centers around the world.

In this series of articles we will talk about therapeutic exercise for the treatment and prevention of the joints of the hands and feet, as well as introduce you with the practical implementation of some of them.

Therapeutic exercise Chinese medicine for the joints of the hands In our XXI century nanotechnology the whole work of his hands comes down to pressing buttons and keys of various devices, significantly simplifying the everyday life. So often the muscles of the arms become flabby, atrophied and degraded, and not with the onset of the natural aging process, but much earlier. In the pursuit of appearance we forget that it is not the amount of muscle mass and no skin care can help promote healthy hands.

It would seem that a few decades ago, joint disease have been associated with age-related factors. For example, a chronic disease caused by the loss of mobility in shoulder joints, was referred to as the "50-year shoulder" or "frozen (frozen) shoulder". At present, according to statistics from the world health organization, there has been a dramatic rejuvenation of the disease. Doctors are not surprised by the development of arthritis and arthritis in children and young people.

Naturally, the causes of diseases differ in their etiology, but all experts are unanimous in the opinion that a sedentary lifestyle (physical inactivity) is the provoking factor in the degradation of the joints. Why our hands are so vulnerable? This is not only because of the complexity and uniqueness of some joints and muscle structure, not only because of the specificity of motor function, but also because of some misconceptions that are not alien even to professionals — physicians.

We used to eliminate any problems associated with joints, medically way. Of course, to relieve acute or chronic pain easier to swallow the pill and leave the joint alone. We forget, and sometimes don't know that any immobility or blockade of painkillers to eliminate the sensitivity of the muscle during movement, causing irreversible damage to the joints, because it promotes muscle atrophy.

A person gets into a vicious circle: the less he moves, the more problems in the musculoskeletal system; but the greater the discomfort cause of the movement, the less you want to move.

Remember the lessons of anatomy: our joints can move only thanks to the efficient work of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus, namely the ability of muscle tissue to contract and relax, strength and elasticity of ligaments and tendons move the joints. But to himself the musculo-ligamentous apparatus did not allow failure, he has abundantly supplied with blood. The influx of fresh blood carrying cells of oxygen and nutrition, is feasible only with the active movement of the person.

The sedentary condition of the upper extremities in the absence of exercise reduces blood circulation, nutrition becomes insufficient, disturbed water-salt metabolism in the tissues, and as a result, muscles atrophy, ligaments and tendons weaken, all this so-called retaining material ceases to support the joints, they, in turn, begin slowly but surely to disintegrate.

The bad news is that the process of degradation will not stop. Given that everything in our body is interconnected and involved in the General circulation, the destruction will affect many vital organs, and considering, for example, a close relationship vernadscogo belt with the cervical spine, our brain is a unique computer, which has no analogues in Nature, will begin to receive less oxygen carried by the blood, which is fraught with very very big problems.

And here's why it's so important to preserve the health of the hands. According to traditional Chinese medicine, along the arms are the most important meridians — lung, large and small intestines, heart and pericardium. Improving the health of the hands allows to establish the quality of their work, will prevent the occurrence of diseases in these organs, will enable life-giving energy of qi and blood to flow freely through the meridians.

And now for the good news.
