Hands That Work

Your hands are the tools you use every day—lifting, gripping, twisting, and working through heat, cold, moisture, and friction. Yet many men in manual trades only think about their hands when something goes wrong: a cut, a cracked nail, a joint that aches long after the shift ends. This book changes that. It walks you through the daily habits that keep your hands strong, functional, and out of the clinic—from washing techniques that don't strip your skin, to simple stretches that protect your wrists and fingers, to recognising the early signs of a problem that needs a professional. You'll learn how to choose the right gloves for your work, how to treat common injuries without guessing, and when to book an appointment with a GP or hand therapist. Hands That Work is not about vanity; it's about keeping your living tools in working order for the long haul. Part of The Everyday Care Library for Men.
