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.
Finger tendon glides and finger taps are great exercises to improve mobility in the tendons and joints.
Finally, finger extension with or without a band will help stretch the muscles on the inside of the fingers, and strengthen the muscles on the outside.
