2 Sets • 10 Reps
Use a soft ball, sock, or therapy putty for gentle progressive grip work — only when symptoms are stable.
Prep: Soft ball, sock, or therapy putty
2 Sets • 8 Reps
Press and release against a rubber resistance web (or substitute putty) using a large whole-hand grasp — a later-stage strengthening option when mobility is already acceptable.
1 Set • 4 Reps
Hold the big knuckles bent and the smaller finger joints straight to lengthen the small intrinsic muscles of the hand — used after stiffness from immobilization or burns.
Prep: No special equipment
2 Sets • 12 Reps
Spread the fingers against a light looped band to wake up the small extensors that balance grip.
Prep: Rubber band / elastic loop
Turn the palm down and up while the elbow stays steady — a staple motion for forks, doorknobs, and tools.
Prep: Stick, dowel, or pen (rotation aid)
2 Sets • 6 Reps
Stabilize the small finger joints while bending only the big knuckles — a classic hand-therapy drill to regain isolated MCP flexion and extension after stiffness or immobilization.
With the palm on the table, slide each fingertip a short distance toward the thumb line and return — a gentle tendon excursion drill when composite glides are still uncomfortable.
Touch the tip of each finger with the thumb to rebuild fine motor control for buttons, keys, and writing.
1 Set • 5 Reps
Briefly activate the small hand muscles, then exhale and ease the palm wider — a neuromuscular pacing drill sometimes used for tight hands when a therapist has taught you the pattern.
With the forearm supported and palm up, ease the wrist toward extension to stretch the front of the forearm — common after typing or gripping.
Encourage healthy median nerve mobility with a slow sequence of wrist and finger positions. Never push into symptoms.
1 Set • 3 Reps
Use slow circles or gentle strokes along a healed scar to loosen tight tissue and improve glide — distinct from texture desensitization, but often used in the same recovery phase.
1 Set • 1 Rep
A very short same-origin clip used for automated reel / HTML5 checks. Patient education only — follow your clinician’s plan.
2 Sets • 5 Reps
Move the finger tendons through their full range with five gentle hand positions to reduce stiffness and adhesions.
Hold the thumb’s base joint still and bend only the tip — a focused glide for the flexor pollicis longus tendon used after thumb tendon repair or stiffness.
Slow wrist movements through bend, extend, and side-to-side to maintain comfortable joint mobility.
