Do you have tightness or pain in your arms?

You are relaxing the muscles, separating the muscle groups, enhancing circulation, allowing the blood to flow and the nerves to function, and are retraining your brain.

• Stretch your fingers out. Use your other hand or an inanimate object to give you a stretch.
