Tendon Glide Exercise: Variation 2
For this variation of the tendon glide exercise, begin in the same starting position as the first one with your fingers, hand, and wrist in a straight alignment. Next, slowly and gently bend the bottom knuckles of each finger while keeping the other parts of the fingers straight. As you do this, you will feel some pressure in your forearm and wrist, but your wrist should remain barely bent. Finally, complete the exercise by bending the fingers at their middle joints, bringing the tips of the fingers to touch the palm of your hand.
Finger Strengthening Exercise with Rubber Band
To enhance finger strength and flexibility, you can try the finger extensions exercise using a rubber band or a similar tool. Start by pinching your fingers and thumb together on one hand, ensuring they are all straight. Take a rubber band and place it around the outside of your fingers and thumb. Now, gradually spread your fingers apart, making sure the rubber band doesn’t slip off. Repeat this exercise up to 40 times or until your fingers start to feel fatigued.
