When was the last time you thought about your hand health? Likely not recently. Yet how often do you rely on your hands for your work or play?
In Episode 39 of the Chakras & Chardonnay podcast, Maria Mayes welcomes Dr. Terry Zachary to discuss the importance of hand health and the often overlooked role of grip muscles in overall well-being. Dr. Zachary shares his journey from pro golfer and sports chiropractor to grip and hand exercise specialist, motivated by his observations of athletes facing repetitive grip injuries.

Having helped pro athletes, musicians, and artists Dr. Zachary highlights the anatomy of the hand emphasizing the significance of the muscles that close, open, and spread the hand, along with the role of forearm muscles in controlling hand position during gripping activities. He stresses the importance of maintaining balance between these muscle groups to prevent repetitive grip injuries and optimize hand function.

Throughout the conversation, Maria and Dr. Zachary explore topics including the impact of modern lifestyles on hand health, such as extensive smartphone and computer use. Dr. Zachary also addresses common concerns, such as arthritis, and explains how proper hand exercises can support joint health by improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected areas. By incorporating mindful exercises that engage both the closing and opening muscles of the hand, individuals can enhance their hand health and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Dr. Terry offers simple yet effective exercises for listeners to incorporate into their daily routines to promote hand strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Maria guides us through a guided relaxation incorporating such exercises to close out the show.
