Conditions & Injuries

Four movements, not a page of twenty. Tendon glides, blocked bending, intrinsic stretch and rotation — plus the dosing rule that matters more than the exercise choice.

The wrong splint does nothing; the right one worn too long costs you strength. Which of the four types fits your problem, when to wear it, and the stopping rule nobody gives you.

A lot of “carpal tunnel” is a nerve root in the neck. The pattern that tells them apart, which finger maps to which level, and why double crush makes wrist surgery fail.

Most musicians’ hand pain is a practice-volume problem. But a finger that curls only at the instrument and never hurts is focal dystonia, and it needs entirely different help.

Gaming hand pain isn’t mysterious — it’s volume and position. Which symptom means a nerve, which means a tendon, and the three setup changes that actually reduce the load.

Climber’s elbow is medial, not lateral. Plus the brachialis ache nobody names and the lumbrical tear routinely misdiagnosed as a pulley injury — and the loading that fixes all three.

Repeated impact through a closed fist produces a specific injury pattern. The fractures, the sagittal band tear that ends careers, fight bite, and why the wrap is for the wrist.

Basketball, volleyball and netball fingers get taped and forgotten. The four serious injuries that look exactly like a jam, the 60-second sideline check, and how to tape properly.

The lead wrist takes most of it. Where golf hurts hands and elbows, why the hook of hamate fracture gets missed, and what actually changes the load on your swing.

Down dog, plank and chaturanga all ask for 90 degrees of wrist extension most people don’t have. The ten-second test, what each pain location means, and what to change in class.
