Your hands are connected to your brain! 🧠🤲 Hand exercises that challenge coordination, dexterity, and fine motor skills can do more than improve hand function :) they can also provide valuable cognitive stimulation. While no single exercise can prevent dementia, staying physically, mentally, and socially active is associated with better brain health and may help reduce dementia risk. As an OT, I love finding ways to work the hands + brain together! 💙 #OccupationalTherapy #geriatrics #physicaltherapy #brainhealth #DementiaAwareness @wearfigs
