Here’s a quick and easy treatment to make your hands feel great. You can do it right at your desk, and best of all, it takes just minutes. You’ll need the small firm MELT ball and the big soft MELT ball. (You may want to take off any jewelry.)

First, decompress your knuckles. Take the small firm ball and wedge it between two of your fingers, right against the webbing, as shown. Gently squeeze two or three times, taking a nice easy breath.

Repeat between each finger of both hands, including between your thumb ad index finger. If you like, you can hold the small ball with the opposite hand and give a little rub to the area between the thumb and index finger.

Next, we’re going to get the fluids moving through the hands. Place your left hand flat on the table and use the right hand to gently rub the soft ball from wrist to fingertip of the left hand. Get on top of each finger and between each finger.

Notice how the ball is moving from fingertip to wrist on that top hand. To make your wrists feel even better, try to move the ball from your hand through your wrist toward your lower arm.

Repeat on the other hand, lying the right hand on the table and moving the ball with your left hand.

These quick steps are designed to decompress your knuckles and restore hydration to the tissues in your hands and wrists. Feel the mobility of your joints – your hands should now have more movement and more strength and feel less fatigued.

The MELT Hand and Foot Treatment Kit includes six MELT Treatment balls (two of each size) and one bunion band, a 60-minute instructional DVD, and an illustrated step-by-step guide in a clear travel case. You can order one at shop.meltpdx.com (makes a great gift for anyone with hands or feet!)
