Hand Complaints

Your hands are your most direct contact with the world. With them you reach out, hold on, let go. You stroke, you grab, you gesture, you shape. No other part of your body connects the inside and the outside so immediately — what you touch, you truly feel. And what you cannot touch remains foreign to you.

When your hands ache, stiffen, tingle, swell, or lose their strength, this affects more than just tendons and joints. It affects your entire way of making contact with life. The medical perspective looks for inflammation, overuse, nerve entrapments — and that is important. But the deeper question is: What is happening in your grasping, your holding, your touching, that no longer feels right?

Hand complaints tell the story of how you tackle life — and what gets left behind in the process.
