Don't Overlook Hand Extension Exercises!

When it comes to hand and wrist exercises, clinicians often emphasize flexion movements, crucial for daily tasks. However, neglecting hand extension exercises can lead to muscle imbalances. Strengthening hand extensors is vital for overall hand function, including the ability to open the hand effectively. Here are some innovative products to help you incorporate hand extension exercises into your routine effectively:
