Do you work with your hands? Do your fingers hurt? Wrists? Forearms? I find that most types of work that I’ve done requires the use of my hands and fingers. Still working, approaching my golden years, I find that the finger/hand exercises that I learned years ago, are still really useful, especially now that I am a cashier, moving 800 items an hour across the scanner, bagging groceries, making change, etc.

I want everyone to know that these tips are available to anyone for free. Just Google hand therapy exercises for strengthening your hands and fingers. You can buy the therapy putty on Amazon for cheap, (you can even get started with Silly Putty) 👌🏽 there are loads of hand and fingers grip strengthening tools, putty, bands and more.

I do my exercises in sets of 20 reps x 2, a few times a week. I also ice my hands after work when needed, and soak my hands in warm salt water to aid in healing. These are just some LPTs and there are more out there to help with hands, wrists, fingers etc.

Happy Hand Health. 🙌🏽
