Powerful Hands & Wrists for Painless Weight-bearing & Grip Strength
a CorSano Pilates Master Class (Recorded)
Research shows that weight-bearing exercise on the hands and wrists effectively builds grip strength and increases bone density in the hand, wrist and forearm to prevent fracture. What’s more, weight-bearing Pilates offers one of the best overall approaches for strengthening muscles, tendons and bones ensuring that upright posture and mobility are maintained.
How can we make weight-bearing exercise effective and pain-free?
This 90-minute Master Class will teach effective and painless approaches to:
- Franklin Method® exercises that train your hand dexterity, flexibility and strength
- MELT Method® techniques that restore the supportive qualities of the hand, wrist and forearm fascia for optimal transfer of forces from hand to shoulder
- Exercises that help alleviate hand arthritis/stiffness, carpal tunnel syndrome and common elbow joint injuries
- Optimize alignment between shoulders and fingers in foundational weight-bearing positions such as “Plank” on hands and knees
