I know it sounds funny, but does your thumb hurt a lot? Oh, let me tell you, that “mom thumb” pain is certainly NOT funny! Nor is carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, or other typical aches and pains that we get in our hand, wrist, and elbow.  Today, I’m interviewing Halcyon McCollum, a Certified Occupational Therapist that specializes in hand, wrist and elbow injuries. Every day, she treats moms just like you that battle with pain while gripping, holding, and picking up things.  On this episode, I’m asking her about:   “Mom thumb” from picking up babies and toddlers and how to get relief,  What exactly carpal tunnel syndrome is,  When it’s a good idea to wear a wrist brace,  Stretches and exercises that help with tennis elbow pain,  And why strong shoulders are the key to happy hands and wrists.   If you’ve been suffering through pain in your hand, wrist and elbow, let’s get to the bottom of it and find you some relief!  MORE RESOURCES: The Strong Mommas Squad - FREE private FB community The Strong Mommas Coaching Program -  Fitness & nutrition coaching program for moms that gets results!
