cramping in the hands

[ebacoids]

Sir, tanong ko lang kasi bak amay ibang nakaka experience nito. Parang nag ccramps yung palms ng kamay kop pag katapos tumugtog, habang tumutugtog at kahit hindi tumutugtog. Pag ineextend ko yung fingers ko sa along the fret board, minsan masakit. Mayroon bang iba sa inyo na naka expereince nito?

[TagaRetiro]

Me.

May mali siguro sa hand positioning or posture yung kamay ko.

 common cause yan sa mga gitarista kung walang hand wrist and finger stretching before playing

[jepbueno]

^ano yung mga exercises sir?

ako naman madalas sa wrist ang sumasakit.. pati sa strumming hand.

[MjIoLhLaEnR]

Me, am doin the stretching of John Petrucci.  The one he taught on Rock Discipline.

This one's for flexibility, but I think this might help...

Michael Angelo Batio presented killer warm-up exercises sa Speed Kills 2. Definitely worth buying.

[mother_earth!]

Allan Holdsworth puts his hands in warm water before playing..maybe that would help..

Kung bagito ka pa bro, normal lang yan 

Otherwise, kung persistent yung sakit, try mong hindi mag-gitara ng 2 weeks or more (yikes!). Kapag hindi nawala by then, patingin mo na sa sports medicine doctor. 

Good luck!

Maraming factors, pwedeng sa gitara: yung setup (string gauge, action, hindi ka comfy sa height ng strap, etc); or sa kamay mo: kulang sa stretching, hindi pa ganun kalakas ang carpal muscles mo, kulang sa stabilization ang elbow at shoulder, mali ang pwesto, or generally mababa ang potassium at Vit B complex levels mo. Or pwedeng all of the above.

Stop, relax, gently massage your arms, starting from the tips of your fingers to your palm, then forearms, up to your elbows, then work your way back to your fingertips. Do the same to the other arm.

Keep the blood flowing.

[Ralph_Petrucci]

Pwede ring dahil sa ibang factors like trabaho mo sir.

Kung maghapon kang babad sa keyboard sa work tapos mali ang typing posture mo, pwedeng maging cause yan nung pain or discomfort mo.

Or kung nagtetennis ka or any sport na related sa wrists and fingers mo (i.e. badminton, table tennis).

Dos Sentimos!

Stretch your fingers and wrist flexors and extensors tapos drink some Gatorade pag nag-c-cramps ka.
