Top 3 Finger Stiffness Exercises (Beginner)

In this video, Michelle shows you her Top 3 Finger Stiffness Exercises. These exercises are easy enough for the beginner starting to move their fingers again after an injury. These finger stiffness exercises can also prevent unwanted stiffness due to finger arthritis.

In this follow along video, you'll learn how to increase your finger mobility by moving the small joints of your fingers. By the end of these exercises your whole hand will feel more flexible and free from stiffness.

And added bonus is that no equipment is needed to do these beginner finger stiffness exercises.

All of these exercises work on improving the mobility of your long finger flexors and increase your finger joint range of motion. If you are starting to use your hand again after a finger fracture, hand injury, or looking to get ahead of achy arthritis, these exercises will help!

I am such a huge advocate of finding exercises and movement that increase your finger mobility and hand function. I know you'll find these exercises effective and easy to follow, even without having to use any equipment.

I have no insurance and could not afford therapy, your videos help me get my fingers back in motion after an injury. THANKS FOR THE INFO

[alexandermulcahy]

YEARS I've had this stubborn stiffness and pressure that was driving me insane and an 8-minute video cured it... amazing. Thank you so much!

Hello Michelle. I don't even know what to say, this is such a lifesaver. I have been praying and waiting on the Lord for my healing and I know that He is my healer! It is also good to do therapy and I do not use insurance and I do not have extra funds for this type of specific therapy. I am thrilled to have found your videos. I injured my pinky finger three and a half months ago and then reinjured it twice since then. ..just being a busy busy hard working mom. I basically banged it really hard, then I really did not take care of it and then banged it really hard since then, twice. then one day when I was cleaning an Airbnb, I dropped a plate on it. I did not ice it and I just finished doing all of the cleaning at the Airbnb. So I have been beside myself, worried and in tears, feeling like I will never be able to use my hand again. I have been trusting the Lord and declaring healing over myself. God's Word says that by His strips we are healed, and it is true. He is healing me! I appreciate your free videos more than you know!! Thank you so very much!!! May God Bless you Michelle for all of your precious giving!

Thank you so much. I have tried many medications and exercises to reduce stiffness but nothing helped much. It gave instant relief to my stiff hands.

[musicantd]

Just perfect for me. Thank you Michelle!!! I have been in a wasteland with my top rated HMO in dealing with my badly sprained dominant hand pinky for almost 8 months. All the people I have dealt with there are obviously burned out. Your videos are the dawn after a nightmarish night.

[rigzintopgyal]

You are truly an angel! Following your video gave my index finger immediate relief. God bless you and keep you safe . Thank you ever so much.

I’m 53 and just had the start of stiffness in my left index finger DIP joint. This is the first video I found to try to help it and I will try these. I type most of the day and I also want to play guitar more, and my stiffness is tricky for the guitar (but I don’t notice it typing). Thank you!!!

[ricardojano]

1 2 3 did the exercises along with you - I felt relief after
The stiffness in my trigger finger started a few days ago out of the blue
I had Mohs Surgery on top of the effected hand the stiffness is on, the skin is tight on top of that hand at times

[Luckygirlme]

I've had pain in my fingers for months and tried different stretches but after doing this video it felt slightly better so I'll make sure to keep doing this. THANK YOU

[jesusaag]

Since several injuries, I have a big trouble with my right middle finger. I exercise both hands and I use your drills as a complement of my terapist. Your work is gold. Thanks.

[joyblandford]

Definitely feel more mobile! Thank you!❤

[twigitha]

Thank you so much for this. I fractured my wrist and have had really stiff swollen fingers since my cast came off a week ago and this is the best I've felt yet

[alexndrvu]

I'm here after I broke my middle finger and this actually helps me a lot! Thank you!

[pcallas]

I've had gout issues in my hands and had a bad attack in my left hand over two years ago. I've tried all kind of things. My index finger doesn't have much range of motion at all. I'm mainly a bass player and it doesn't affect that so much. I do play a little bit of guitar and I'm having trouble playing a couple basic chords that I didn't have trouble playing before. I did the exercises on that finger and I'm feeling clicking in there now. I have a feeling this is going to work and I will continuously do the exercises. I do want to thank you very much. I can do most things but it really bothers me that those couple basic chords I can't play well anymore. Anyway I will try to keep you posted. Thanks again. Happy new year.

[ChirpyChat]

For the first time, I'm be to move my very stiff fingers section by section. I'm confident thry will become more flexible. Thank you!

[SaltCityAngling]

I’ve only had my stitches out for 2 days, I did these excercises and I can touch all my fingertips together now, im going to continue this all day

[cornelltsiang]

i initially thought it was a bit silly to do these exercises. i have stiff fingers from bouldering. But i did them anyway. Lo and behold, my fingers felt better straight away. Thank you

[malikamalakusa]

Thank you so much for all your videos. It helped me a lot after a broken wrist I couldn’t bent my fingers. I did therapy but your videos are amazing specially the ones that concerned the fingers 🙏

[salsstreettacos]
