00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:03.580
Thank you for joining the ADA
Ergonomic Stretches Moment.

00:00:04.250 --> 00:00:06.750
This movement is called Finger Spreaders.

00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:09.919
There will be five
repetitions using both hands.

00:00:10.645 --> 00:00:11.495
Let's begin.

00:00:12.385 --> 00:00:16.435
Bring yourself to a comfortable
seated position or standing.

00:00:16.645 --> 00:00:18.275
Let your shoulders relax.

00:00:18.644 --> 00:00:20.404
Bring your elbows to your side.

00:00:20.845 --> 00:00:24.684
And choose, if you would like, to
have your palms face each other, up

00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:27.545
towards the sky, or facing the floor.

00:00:28.394 --> 00:00:32.885
With both hands, you're going to
spread your fingers as wide as you can.

00:00:34.835 --> 00:00:39.565
On an inhale, you're imagining that the
joints are having space between them

00:00:39.655 --> 00:00:41.815
and your fingers are growing longer.

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:48.070
And on exhale, relax your
fingers back together.

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.879
Inhale them as wide as possible.

00:00:54.910 --> 00:00:57.039
And bring them back together.

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.660
If you'd like to explore your palms
in a different orientation, go ahead

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:09.000
and try rotating them either facing
up, facing down, or facing each other.

00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.340
On this next inhale, spread them wide.

00:01:14.270 --> 00:01:16.030
Bring them back together.

00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:25.660
Inhale, spread them as wide as
possible, and exhale back together.

00:01:27.529 --> 00:01:34.009
And this last one, inhale, imagine
that the pinky and the thumbs are

00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:42.850
spreading as far as they can, and on
the exhale, sigh them to relaxation.

00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:47.190
That is the end of this exercise.
