Had surgery 2 weeks ago. Changed casts 3 days ago and was told that I HAVE TO stretch my fingers, but zero instructions or acknowledgment of the pain and difficulties on doing so. Your videos are helping me out a lot! Thank you so much!

I’m a guitarist that just crashed my motorcycle and had a multiple wrist fracture. I have the outer metal Rod holding in place screwed in and only 5 days removed and starting this. I can’t do all the rings probably until I’m in the brace in 2 weeks but this is super helpful. I can’t lose my ability to play and this is great to help me be proactive.

the first time I broke my wrist I wasn't told about these exercises. I was very shocked with how stiff my hand & fingers were. I have now broken my other wrist. This time I want to try to work my fingers as much as I can. Thanks for this video - very helpful.

Thank you Michelle. I’ve been using your exercises since day 1 of my cast and I’m two weeks ahead on my healing because of your kindness in sharing your knowledge in this and your other videos. Thanks for making a difference.

Thank you for your video. I broke my distal radius four weeks ago and are currently still in the cast. Luckily the hospital advised me well about exercising: not just wiggling, but extending, flexing and spreading the hand every hour, but I wanted to know if I could do more and I found your video. All the other videos are about what to do after the cast is removed, but I want to avoid atrophy. Your video is one of the rare videos for in-cast exercise. Now I have a fresh exercise regime 💪 So thank you for your very clear explanation!

Thank you, this video was helpful.😊 I wish my surgeon, nurses, anyone would have given me some more helpful information like this other than just “wiggle your fingers”.

I had surgery 5 days ago and your video with cast on is a life changer. Thanks so much 😊

Thank you for this. I had ORIF wrist surgery 3 weeks ago. I was only told to "move my fingers". Yesterday my whole hand was stiff and painful. I started doing your exercises last night and they are so effective. My hand almost feels normal today. Except for my thumb which is still really painful, although improved as well. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I just hand a surgery on a forearm fracture and got bad swelling in my hand. I wasn't shown any exercises, just was told to move the fingers. Those on the video is a nice drill

Thank you, I just had surgery yesterday on my wrist and doing these just once helped a lot. I will continue to do them. 👍🏻

Thank you for this video - it is really clear and very helpful. Especially if you haven't been given advice about moving your fingers with a cast on, as happened to me!

[PassportsOverloaded]

Unfortunately, /i broke my wrist and the hospital told me not to use my fingers for anything so I avoided moving them and my doctor just changed my cast (after a month of a full cast) to a shorter one and only the bottom of my arm is a hard cast and told me to start PT for my fingers because they are extremely stiff. I wish they would've given me proper advice from the beginning. I appreciate this video because it's already helping me after doing these exercises even just a little bit.
