Thanks a bunch!! I will be trying these! Simple & Straightforward!! Thank you!!!!!!
Very helpful for my post fractured finger. Thank you Michelle 😊 Your now my main therapist during my healing process 🙏❤
OMG, I am glad I found your channel to help me with my problem. Thank you.
Great exercises. Most of my clients would be happy from this. I’ll definitely have to incorporate them in my exercise programming
Thank you
appropriate and very helpful video .
God bless you
muchas gracias...muy buenos ejercicios
Thanks Dr. Michael
Great video, really helpful. Thanks! Watching in the UK. ❤
Thank u for share this knowledge ❤ very helpful🎉
Excellent video, it works for me
thanks, Michelle I will try it...
Superb so much thanks
Thank u so much
Thank u. It's easy.
Thank you, recovering from radial nerve damage, and I now need to work on finger straightening and hand clench in my daily activities. 🙂
I fractured my little finger some weeks ago and only recently discovered it was broken. The bone is mending so I have just had my first physio session where I was taken through the first three exercises. But it was a lot to take in all at once and your video really helps. They recommended three lots of 10 second holds done four times a day. Now I know what I am doing I can try and avoid the knuckle joint trying to compensate and focus on building up those muscles that have got weak (due to lack of use) and help the tendon to slide a bit more freely and to tighten up again. Whilst the movement seems minimal at the moment I know (from rehabilitation of a past injury) that the range will improve if I work at the exercises.
Thanks you 😊
Thank you
am loving the rubber band. THANK YOU
Feels good.
Excellent
Michelle is a hand Goddess!!! Thank you, much appreciation!
You are welcome! Appreciate the compliment!
@@VirtualHandCare You're welcome!!
Thanks alot.i injured my index finger but unfortunately the figure cannot bend after healing but after watching this video following your advice I can see some difference.its now one week since I started this therapy and my finger can bend a little now
Thanks
Wonderful
Very helpful, I had a fifth metacarpal fracture and it really helped, god bless you 🌹
Did you break it by punching someone?
Thank you again 💓
You're welcome!
Thank you so much, been noticing my ring finger knuckle area is crooked. Can you suggest exercises to do? Thank you
Thank you so much I need that 💓
You’re welcome 😊
Amazing 👍
Any other Ext exercises for someone with a dip fracture to the 3rd finger? Great video
Good exercise tips thanks. My pinkie finger has been bent for 6 years after surgery (metal plate joining broken bone). I slacked off on rehab back then because i could bend the finger ok but it has always annoyed me. I just started playing guitar two months ago and am now determined to straighten that finger (I highly recommend considering playing guitar. Never have i used my lazy pinkie finger so much). With this new hobby I started seriously working on straightening my finger a couple of weeks ago and can already feel it loosening up with range of motion increasing. Plenty of work to do still but these exercise tips really confirm i'm on the right path . The pencil exercise is one i'll be adding to my daily rehab for sure.
Guitar is a great way to work the fingers...so many benefits! I’m happy to hear you are finding these helpful after 6 years! Keep at it! 🙏
Thanks needed exercise badly😍
Did the rehab help you with with your little finger? I injured my little finger too, I am looking rehab who can help to straight it
How is your finger now?
Which pinky is it? Is it the one on the hand that holds down the strings or the plucking hand? Curious, because I have a guitar, haven't been playing. I have ROM issue with my badly sprained right pinky and I have a right handed guitar (and am right handed).
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
شكرا هلبة هلبة .
Michelle my belle..thanks
Hi mam good helpful
I had a dramatic finger injury last December where I lost the top portion of my index finger in the inside of a door they amputated it right below the first knuckle so I have a bit of finger above my pip joint and then down I struggle with stiffness and it not going completely straight or completely bent. I didn't eat for a while and then kovid hit. I have just started doing your extension exercises and your stiffness exercises I think they will be very helpful for my situation and I still have sensitivity issues but it does not stop me from using the hand just everything does as you said feel like sandpaper
Sorry to hear about your injury! You may also find this older video of mine helpful for flexion stiffness- ruclips.net/video/jTIFzUEZMtw/видео.html
I broke my wrist at the end of January and had surgery with a plate. I had my cast removed the end of March. I've been going to occupational therapist since February. I had swelling that would not go down on its own so the surgeon gave me a steroid shot in each knuckle in April and that has helped move therapy along. Now, my index and middle finger are having a hard time straightening and my palm has remained pretty stiff ever since my cast was removed. I was prescribed oral prednisone but I haven't taken it because I'm really hoping that I can get my fingers straight without it.
Thanks!
You are welcome!! And Thank You very much for the Super Thanks!!🙏
Michell muchas gracias You're AWESOME GOD BLESS YOU PRETTY GIRL. I'm GRACEFUL & THANKFUL.
You are so welcome!
Love these! I'll definitely be adding them to my routine. My injury happened a year ago and I've been slacking on getting my finger back to normal. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
How is your finger now?
Same problem here, keeping after it. For me it's been 7 months. Sprain of pinky PIP joint, a boutonniere deformity. I'm almost 80, so I don't heal like a 14 year old! The pain's 90+% gone, the swelling too, but the ROM is tough to regain. I figure persistence and determination will pay off, but slacking won't!
@@musicantd any update
@@DP-wo5ik Yeah, hasn't changed, limited ROM, working at it causes pain, so I back off, probably not persistent enough in dealing with it. Had phone appointment with hand surgeon and he said a cortisone shot would likely alleviate the trigger finger aspect of the pinky which happens when I go for more flexion than the joint wants. I had that shot 8 days ago and will start trying for more flexion in another week (doctor said to hold off for 2 weeks from getting the shot). Am scheduled to resume physical therapy at that point with a new-to-me therapist (a GOOD IDEA, I lacked trust in the last one, who was bumped up to supervision and no longer does therapy!). So, bottom line is not much pain now, but not good ROM, but the cortisone and PT is apt to help, maybe a lot.
Flexion is more a concern than the extension, because grip is paramount. Straightness has little practical import. I'm probably lacking 25-30 degree for full (straight) extension of the PIP joint. I may not work on regaining extension. It's been 14 months since the injury occurred.
Hello Michelle, great channel I want to ask you a question about my fingers. I had trigger finger surgery on all four fingers on my right hand.3 weeks ago. With My pointing finger and middle finger I've discovered now that the pain that's in the two main knuckles may not be associated with trigger finger. The trigger finger is gone but the pain now seems to be worse if I put my hand flat on a table it's painful to make my hand completely flat there's a curvature because I cannot straighten my first two fingers out I also cannot make a fist. I'm really concerned the doctor says there might be some arthritis and if that's true it's really really bad…….. any suggestions? When I try to straighten my fingers or stretch them it's very painful and it really doesn't feel like stretching pain.
thank you so much for your videos. This June 2020, I broke both wrists and had pins in the left hand to hold another break inplace. Plates & screws + carpal tunnel surgery all done 10 days after my breaks. My left hand was super swollen and the little, ring and middle finger were wrapped up and not moving for about 6 weeks total time (2 additional weeks in cast on the right hand but fingers moved more. It is now 4 1/2 months and my left fingers (non broken) are still swollen a bit, and they are straight but the joints don't bend very well. MUCH better but I'm still working them and my index finger each day to get them moving. I did your buddy wrap but have not done it each day. should I? I sit and bend them down several times during the day. Will any of these help? I'm so frustrated with them still having mobility issues .. thank you for the help and encouragement!
Dealing with 1 is challenging enough but 2..ugh! These exercises are great for straightening the fingers so would not help bending them. And yes daily, several times a day exercises are necessary when dealing with mobility issues. You can always sign up for a video consultation to get exercises that are right for what you need- virtualhandcaresecure.as.me/onehourvideocall
@@VirtualHandCare thank you!
Hi are all the excercises good for RA deformed fingers?
Thank U!
I started noticing my symptoms for type 2 of mild camptodactyly on both my pinky fingers at 11 years of age but still haven't done any treatment yet, 5 years have passed since then and my joints have stiffen. Do you think this can be completely cured if I do exercise regularly?
Question, would wearing a splint help?
Thanks a lot for your work. I have had a ligament damage/fracture around middle joint of ring finger. The advice I have got from couple of orthopaedic MDs is conflicting. One has suggested buddy taping for couple of weeks, other has advised to leave the finger free. There is some swelling around joint couple of weeks after sports Injury and finger is tilted . Advice would be appreciated .
How is your finger now?
Hey there! Thank you for this video! I have a question about finger stiffness; if someone kept their finger at a bend position for about 6 months straight, and it has gotten stiff and swollen around the knuckle area, is it possible to regain flexibility to straightening and bending all the way, by performing finger exercises for over a long period of time, without having surgery? Thanks!
Is this exercises any good for stroke patients? Thanks
Excelente cuatro ejercicios para extensión, muy interesantes, tengo un canal parecido en Argentina y me preguntaba si desearías hacer algún tipo de colaboración entre canales. Me costó mucho encontrar un canal similar al mío, así que es un agrada saber que hay otras personas que se dedican a lo mismo en youtube. Saludos cordiales!
Mam I'm suffering this problem... So.. I want to do this exercise
@VirtualHandCare it's been a year since I broke my middle finger proximal phalanx. My middle joint in that finger is still swollen and will not completely straighten. Do I have any hope of getting it straight again?
I’m planning to buy your strap but I need to know how long in a day should I wear this strap to my finger?
Hi I had an accident last year and broke my proximal bone right at the tip of the joint so my little finger was set with a wire and as the drs was pulling the wire out after healing of my finger the tip of the joint bone broke again so now the bone has healed on top of the proximal phalanx, I am unable to straighten my little finger now as I thought it was due to the break but instead it’s due to stiffness. The bone is still on top of the phalanx bone and have been advised by drs it should remain that way due to the complications due to not flexing at the joint. Will this video help with this as I need to be able to straighten if am to have corrective surgery
Is this exercise good after a few months of getting wrist surgery? It's my fault I did not commit earlier. Thank you in advance
I just took my splint off after 7 weeks for mallet finger .. My finger is slightly still bent and stiff it hurts when I try to bend it would these exercises work ?

Thank you for showing us how to straighten out our fingers I really feel good about this. Could you let me know how many weeks this will take. Only my pinky finger needs to be straighten. Thank you
It is hard to say how long it will take...everyone is different. For some it takes 3-4 weeks but for some it can take many months!
@@VirtualHandCare i got mad and punch a wall really hard. I don’t have any broken bones just a stretch tendon. I wear a splint all day and night. It’s been about a month and a half. My finger goes straight and then bends in the middle. I can’t feel nothing around the 5th metamorpchal when holding something. Please reach out to me and telling me what I have. Thank you
@@VirtualHandCare my hand has 3 bent fingers I'm mainly worried about my pinkie too I'm 18 btw and My pinky is really deformed because it was beaten so these exercises can straighten my finger joints?? This is like too good to be true
@@VirtualHandCare and thank you for showing everyone these exercises I thought the only way to fix my fingers was to cracking the back in place lmao
I shattered my pip in my pinky and now at 5 weeks post injury I have no bend at that joint - would any of these stretches work for that? Thanks in advance!
The stretches in this video are for straightening so no, they would not be for bending. I have several other videos for getting more bend or flexion. You can check out some of these- ruclips.net/p/PLBVEMTUsRUvIaF0Vj-grnc2Pn6wM2pKC6
Hello ma'am I have got fracture on my right middle finger so what I have to do now?
Hi, I have both OA and RA. 5 weeks ago I had 3 trigger fingers released on my rt hand. My ring finger doesnt want to straighten completely on its own. I'm now discharged from Ortho. I no longer have activity restrictions. Would these exercises work for me? Also the therapist gave me an oval 8 splint. Would this splint help or hinder flexibility in that finger? Thank you for your help!
Mam, can you help ma please, I'm in big problem
Can this exercise help after 6 months of stiffness
Hey all the exercises didnt make my small finger straight what should i do
Releases pain
I have 8 crack finger what i can do? By the way since birth theres a cure of it?
Middle finger broken how many days in recover pls reply me
Hi, I injured my thumb 6 weeks ago and I had an extensor tendon repair, it's been 6 weeks and today I'm allowed to take off the splint for exercise , I already knew that I was going to face stiffness but I didn't expect it to be so extreme, now I don't know if it's normal or my extensor tendon is stuck there, I can't bend the IP joint at all, say in a neutral position the angle I can make is probably -1° and it feels very very hard to get that -1°, is that normal?
Yes, 6 weeks of no movement will leave anyone stiff! Wonder why they didn't have you start protected motion earlier. You will definitely want to stay on top of your exercises and make sure you follow your therapist's recommendations to get moving. I do have other thumb exercise videos too- ruclips.net/video/2zpHdL25Iuc/видео.html. Best of luck!
@@VirtualHandCare yeah I checked that video too and some exercises are the same they gave me, I think I can move it a little bit more, but is hard to tell, thank you for your answer!
How is your thumb now?
@@dnangel4277 not bad, still feels a little awkward after 1 year and 5 months, I didn't get full range of motion but I can't think of anything that I can't do now that I could before
Hello doctor.
I have a finger problem .
I have suffered from any of the finger injury .
But still my fingers are bent inwards .
Do you any way to make it straight🙏🙏
I'm a guitar player, 50 years old. I have a little bit of peripheral neuropathy from Type 2, but for 35 years I"ve had no fundamental issues playing. Now my ring finger is starting to collapse at the first knuckle. The ability to hold it straight/rigid is kind of critcal to playing. Will these exercises help? I type way too much at work, I know this combined with not playing as much as I used to is probably all factoring in. I keep looking for help on the internet, there seems to be (frustratingly) no specific description of my specific condition. I can't afford a specialist right now, my money's already tied up in a lot of other medical items. Just thought I'd ask, have a wonderful day.
Can I straight my pinky finger
Really damn worked i had crushed my finger in the workplace and i cant close that finger i did this exercises just 5 min much difference thanks dear
How is your finger now?
@@dnangel4277 good, time heals everything.

Hi! I crack knuckles that's why my fingers are crooked How so straight? plz tell will this trick work
I wish I knew these exercises when I was younger. Is it too late for these exercises to straighten out my pinky fingers that I dislocated decades ago?
It is hard to say but it is always worth trying!
I had fractured my pip joint on my pinky and I’ve had my surgery Almost 2 months ago the bone is healed but is still really swollen and stiff whenever I try to do any exercise it hurts what should I do mam please help .
Warm the hand prior to doing the exercises!
Please help me. 😢 It's been 2 months since my operation for installing internal fixations for my ulna and radius fracture. I'm really a hard working and disciplined guy. I live in a remote area where there is no hand physiotherapist so I'm just doing my best through videos. But now, I still can't make my fingers extend even just a bit. My wrist still has a little bit of swelling but not that painful anymore. I can extend it but just a little bit. I also still can't fully close my fist. Now I'm feel scared that I might have some other problems after the operation. Please help me. 😢
Try warming your hands prior to doing these exercises!
Motorcycle accident on hwy. In a cast for 6 weeks. galeazzi fracture, dislocated wrist, multiple broken fingers. been doing massage, exercises, stretches, etc for a month. Wrist will go perfectly straight but cannot raise it up beyond that /no progress at all in that direction. Wrist almost fully bends downward. Have regained some flexibility in fingers. however, my thumb won't bend at all now - thanks to my doc who has injured it twice by sharply & forcibly jamming it down. I felt intense pain & sharp pop each time. & afterwards my thumb swelled up again. My fingers are constantly tingling. Feel like they're going to pop. neck & shoulder are injured too but the doc/osteopath wont even look at them. Doc will not do MRI, Ct, etc./only std x'rays. His only advice is to toughen up & to push harder. Note: I am a former full contact bare knuckle & MA champion. I am stuck w/this doc & my awful insurance. Don't know what to do. Please help. Any advice is appreciated.
I should also mention that when I was bedridden & on heavy painkillers, I had complained that my cast was too tight & my fingers felt like they were being crushed.
Thank you! Save me from going to P T🤪
The first two exercises here feel good for me. As all my fingers are bent and painful the pencil exercise is a step too far at the moment - can't get a pencil to thread through - far too painful.
The pencil one can be hard. You can also try spreading fingers apart and together several times to open up the web spaces between the fingers.
How is it now?
@@dnangel4277 Thanks for asking.
Still swollen and excruciating pain. I now know that m.r.p.s. is causing this and I need to find someone with experience in this field who may be able to help me.
@@Daffodil729 Oh wow, sorry to hear!
Good luck and all the best!
I have a crooked middle finger can i correct this problem with exercise
Me too! Did you get help?
My pinky has not been able to straighten for a day now, but I can bend it wish this works for me.
Can you please tell me whether it showed some improvement or not??
@@fitwarrior7872 it has healed now for about like doing these in 5 days even happened to my index finger as well it's now all good for me.
