- In this quick tip tutorial, I show the 3 standard hand and wrist stretches for artists to do on the daily to help minimize pain and hopefully prevent injury! I would recommend doing this daily as we have to take care of ourselves do make sure we can keep doing what we love, longer!
This was requested and made for my dear friend, Angela! I hope you enjoy your daily hand stretching =D

According to my physiotherapist, you should try to never bend your hand so much inward (where your palm would face yourself), or even shake your hands vigorously. This is because nerves that go there get squeezed under ligaments that go over your wrist and as time goes on, and you do that too much, the nerves basically become damaged. So please, before you do any stretching that involve bending your hand inward like the second stretch vonnart shows, ask a professional! I'm not saying this won't do anything positive but do be careful. I only know this because I messed my hand up really bad from drawing too much and had to see a physiotherapist. Take care of yourselves!
dithoricki upvote and reply because this is important
I knew about the same about the stretch in the thumbnail. You have to be very careful with that, at least me, i'm not in the best of shape :P xD
thanks, what exercises do you do then?
When I try mu thumb locked
low key flexing his biceps 😂
I have never tried harder to pretend I have some muscle haha
Sooooo helpful! My hands and wrists hurt so much esp after a good drawing session. Thanks Tim!
I need one for the back xd
Those are actually useful
Actually my best friend is a personal trainer and exercise enthusiast (KatMusniFitness on UA-cam) and we are creating a FULL artist specific workout which focuses on the back, core, and glutes! Expect the video early next week =]
@@vonnart can't wait~
Same :( that's one of my major problems during art creation
I have very feeble wrists and chronic tendinitis in my drawing arm, so I think this is gonna help me a lot (I can't stretch it half as much as you, but it's a start). So thank you! Very useful indeed :)
Yeah I hope these help!! Go slow and don't push it more than you can do and go at your own pace =
Thank you! Have a nice day!
Holy crap your wrist is so flexible!
Thanks for the tips by the way, I've been told as an artist I should be stretching my wrist periodically but no one ever told me HOW before.
Thank you! I recently restarted my art commissions and my wrist was killing me.. It feels much better now and I apply it before, during, and after art sessions :).
Thank you for posting this!
I'll have to bookmark this. Hand Flareups has been happening more often than I like to admit. Lol plus I need to take more breaks from art.
Helped so much, Thank you!!! RELIEF ☺️
thank you so much, my hand feels so much better!
Thus is very useful. Thank you
really great tips!
I've been following you on instagram for a few years and I just stumbled upon this. Very helpful! Thank you! Subscribed.
Super helpfull - thanks von!
At 65 & paint w acrylics & water colors I am now always warming my hands up by (very slow exercises) & if see your thumb knuckle is looking lighter (stop & rest) as very lil blood flow going through & that nerve will not respond well.
Still have hand pain & often must take a week or two break from painting.
So if can start younger please do them but make sure doing them correctly.
So strange I never even thought of this as useful😂ty
🙌 Nice PSA mate!
You forgot the most important stretch which is to stretch your imagination ;)
(Sidenote: You make beautiful artwork!)
How do you take care of your eyes.. My eyes are killed when I do detailed work
How the heck do his fingers go back so far? Is he flexible or am I not?!
I’ve heard you should do it every 20 minutes. It that true?
No, you should do it after a initial warm-up and then only after your hands gets tired. Overstretching can be just as bad as not stretching at all.
That seems a bit painful haha...
It can be even more painful if you don't stretch daily lol
@@vonnart Seems a good reason to start stretching
