Finger arthritis can make it difficult to do everyday tasks, and it can be very painful. These simple finger stretches and exercises should help relieve the pain.
A ball or towel squeeze is a great way to start and get the fingers loosened up. It not only strengthens the muscles, but it helps stretch them out as well.
