Grip or Slip: The Secret to Longevity

In this episode of Soma Says, Dr. Soma welcomes chiropractor and former pro golfer Dr. Terry Zachary to explore a surprisingly overlooked topic: grip strength. From his transition out of professional golf to his work with athletes, musicians, and everyday professionals, Dr. Zachary shares the science and strategy behind Handmaster Plus, a tool that helps train all 27 muscles of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow.

They discuss how balanced muscle training can prevent injury, improve recovery, support lymphatic drainage, and even help new mothers and aging adults maintain strength and function. Whether you're navigating menopause, recovering from carpal tunnel, or just typing away at a laptop all day, this conversation will change the way you think about your hands.
