Dupuytren Minute Message: Sports and exercise 3

Tread Lightly on Your Palms

Dupuytren biology involves myofibroblasts, provoked by mechanical forces, among other things; nice review article here: http://goo.gl/3XSOkp. Stretching fingers backward - intuitive, logical ...and probably the exact wrong thing to do for Dupuytren. Pushups? Use pushup handles or fist pushups on padding; same for yoga downward dog position. Adapt and keep going!
