1 Set • 1 Rep
A very short same-origin clip used for automated reel / HTML5 checks. Patient education only — follow your clinician’s plan.
Prep: No special equipment
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.
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.
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
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.
Prep: Soft ball, sock, or therapy putty
2 Sets • 10 Reps
Use a soft ball, sock, or therapy putty for gentle progressive grip work — only when symptoms are stable.
Touch the tip of each finger with the thumb to rebuild fine motor control for buttons, keys, and writing.
Slowly floss the ulnar nerve pathway with small wrist and finger changes. Stop if ring or small-finger numbness ramps up.
1 Set • 3 Reps
Elevate the hand above the heart and gently open and close the fingers to encourage fluid movement.
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)
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.
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.
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.
