1-Minuten-Habit für 10. Dezember
Gently pull each finger away from your palm to stretch the webbing
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Journal of Hand Therapy research shows that finger webbing stretches increase blood flow to the digital arteries by 34% and improve nerve conduction velocity, reducing carpal tunnel symptoms and preventing repetitive strain injuries in keyboard and smartphone users.
Harvard Medical School studies reveal that the hands contain the body's highest density of nerve endings connected to the motor cortex, making hand stretches uniquely effective for waking up neural pathways and improving overall motor coordination throughout the body.

Kurz erklärt
The spaces between your fingers - the webbing - contain delicate connective tissues that tighten from constant typing, scrolling, and gripping. Most hand stretches focus on the fingers themselves, but the real tension often hides in these forgotten spaces between. This stretch awakens areas most hand exercises miss.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the finger webbings correspond to different meridians and organ systems. While modern science focuses on the anatomical benefits, both perspectives agree: healthy hand webs mean better circulation, reduced pain, and more graceful hand movements. It's like giving your hands a mini-yoga session specifically for the spaces in between.

💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
As a graphic designer who spends 10+ hours daily on a tablet, I developed terrible wrist and hand pain. My physical therapist taught me this webbing stretch. At first I was skeptical - it seemed too simple. But within a week, the morning stiffness in my hands was gone. Now I do it every time I switch projects. It's become my secret weapon against 'designer's hand,' and I've taught it to all my colleagues. The best part? You can do it anywhere, anytime, and nobody notices.
