Benefit #5: It strengthens your hands.
In addition to gaining dexterity from working all those little muscles you probably never knew were in your hands, you also gain strength! As the Qi flow to the hand increases, and the muscles get stronger, you will notice that you have much more power in your grip. If you practice Tui Na or some other physical massage in your practice, you will appreciate this benefit greatly. Otherwise, while your newly-found, Incredible Hulk-like grip may not be of any direct use in the clinic, it will mean that you will never have sand kicked in your face at the beach and that you will never need any tools to crack open walnuts.
