Thanks for your interest in hand injuries. I think yoga is a great medium for health and healing. I do think the hand /upper extremity weight bearing components of yoga may be stressful to a hand or finger injury depending on the stage of healing the injury is at. If the condition is ready for stretching and weight bearing, yoga could be a useful technique. Know the stage of healing the injury has reached before getting too aggressive. Good luck.

Thanks for this enlightening post. I just wanted to know your opinion on alternative physical therapy practices such as yoga to heal hand and finger injuries. Would you recommend that someone try yoga in conjunction with seeing a physical therapist in the hopes of healing an injury, or would this be counter-intuitive?

Thanks,
Musa
