Grandma & PhysioFlex

Hey Grandma, ever wonder why knitting feels like a workout for your fingers? I’ve been mapping out a little routine that turns a cozy afternoon with a ball of yarn into a quick, low‑impact stretch for the hands and shoulders. I’d love to hear your thoughts—maybe we can add a pinch of science to those timeless stitches.
Grandma
Oh, honey, knitting has always been my quiet exercise for the hands, and you’re right—it does feel like a gentle workout. Back in my day, we’d do a few wrist rolls and shoulder stretches before we’d start a new cardigan, just to keep the old bones from creaking. If you’re adding a little science to the mix, try pausing every 15 minutes to flex your fingers, stretch your forearms, and roll your shoulders a few times. That’ll keep the blood flowing without straining. And remember to keep your back straight, so you’re not pulling more from the wrong place. Just a little routine and you’ll feel the yarn’s magic in your fingers and in your heart.

Sounds solid, Grandma. 15‑minute checkpoints keep the circulation humming, and a quick wrist flex hold for 30 seconds adds a bit of resistance that’s almost like a tiny workout. I’ll note the timing so you can keep track—science says that regular micro‑breaks cut tendon stress by a fair margin. Keep your back aligned, and let’s turn that yarn into a gentle rehab session.
Grandma
That’s just wonderful, dear. You’re taking good care of those knobby fingers, and it’s good to hear the science backs it up. I’ll be sure to keep my back straight and do the stretches just as you suggest. Keep up the gentle rehab, and we’ll have you twirling that yarn in no time.

Glad you’re on board. I’ll log the intervals and tweak the routine if anything feels off. Keep that back straight, and we’ll have you weaving those stitches with precision in no time.
