  • Symptoms: Tightness, discomfort, stiffness, general ache and/or stabbing pain on the backsides of the hands and forearms. A need to massage and/or stretch the hands, wrists and forearms.
  • Cause of Symptoms: The pain and stiffness in the hands, wrists and forearms is a result of the weak finger and wrist extensor muscles attempting to counteract the tremendous pull from the stronger, tighter flexor muscles in order to maintain the carpal and metacarpal bones in their proper positions.
  • Treatment of Symptoms: FLEXTEND® may help eliminate symptoms as it corrects the existing muscle imbalance and improves power, strength, endurance of extensor muscles at the origin and insertion points, reducing pain and spasm in the backsides of hands, wrists and forearms.
