One of the indignities of aging is what it does to our bodies. Add to that the strain of any pursuit that involves repetitive movements, and you have a recipe for - if not disaster - chronic aches and pains.
Recently Modern Daily Knitting ran a column on stretches designed to avoid or alleviate the discomfort that sometines results from knitting. I would expect that the same exercises would apply to most any creative pursuit that involves using your hands a lot, so I am passing it along.
Sray healthy, and keep creating!
