  • Thank you very much. I have been playing flute for several years and had swollen and inflamed fingers and thumb and sore left shoulder if I played more than an hour. Thought it might be arthritis but doctor said it is tendinitis. I do your exercises before every hour of playing and now play painless and symptom free for as long as I care to. Too bad your info is not available where flutists might find it. My pain and symptoms are not uncommon among flutists.

  • @seadart07 I'm glad these videos are helpful... I hope you continue to improve and play pain free...

  • Thank you for your video.

    How often do you advice to do these stretches per day?

    I am currently experiencing inflamation in my arms and do these stretches every 3 hours.

  • @Cyanidal187 I'd do the stretches 1 -3 times per day. However, I have found the light weight routine even MORE important than the stretching for recovery and pervention - do the weight routine once per day.  Stretching alone will not increase muscle mass (on a molecular level) and cirrculation nearly as well or as fast. Good luck.

  • @ottottojazz Thank you for the swift response.

    Aside from my forearms I am also experiencing inflamation above my elbow joints.

    Will the wrist curls also benefit this area or should I try a different curling method for this area?

  • @Cyanidal187 If you have elbow joint issues I've found the forearm routine to be only moderatly helpfull... try adding very light tricept extensions 3 - 5lbs. The idea is to increase circulation in the damaged area to help promote natrual body healing. Good luck.
