As artists and crafters, we spend a lot of time using our hands to create beautiful things. Wouldn't it be sad if we couldn't use them anymore! That's why it is so important to take time to stretch out these areas of the body that will hold the most tension when we work. If we don't give them the love they deserve, then the health of our hands and wrists will deteriorate and we will continue to hold tension in our neck and shoulders that can really put a toll on every day life.
These quick and easy stretches for your neck and shoulders, hands and wrists are simple but effective, and great for any one that does a lot of craft work, such as macrame, knitting, crochet, drawing, painted etc. Its the prefect yoga routine for crafters!
