THANK YOU! I just relieved years of pain, I'll do these daily from now on. I was a house painter and I held a brush in one position for many 10-14 hour days. Now I'm in engineering school writing for many 10-14 hour days. What a rat race. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Great! Exercises are simple, short, and so far, very effective for quick relief of my finger cramping. Ironically, my hand cramping only occurs on my left hand! I'm right-handed and therefore it gets more exercising or movement. Great video.
Thank you so much Michelle! I have been a professional artist painting for over 50 years and recently started having cramps in both hands. Its mainly the smaller pencil thickness brushes that give trigger the cramping. I was so glad to see the great video and will start my exercises daily ASAP.
I don't work with my hands often. When I do, assembling and working with small parts and hand tools, my hands cramp to the point that I can't continue and have to (had to) stop because of hand / finger cramps. Cramps that last (on and off) for hour. I just finished such a project and my fingers with cramped as to be useless. I found this excellent video. I did the 3 exercises and message and as proof of the effectiveness of the exercises I was able to type out this thank you completely cramp free. Truth be told this long time sufferer is kinda shocked at the effectiveness. Subscribed, thanks so much.
Just started following you today. I was only having issues on the right side of my hand with my pinkie finger. Now I am having issues on both hands. Finger cramping. Thanks for the exercises. I will continue daily.
Thank you so very much Michelle.I was Cooking dinner and my fingers started cramping. It was very painful And I do not even like to do it. I put my hand down for the table and put pressure But as soon as I left my hand up, the cramping started again. I found you on youtube and adding will exercise as he and immediately after finishing all your exercises, my hands felt back to normal. I can't thank you anymore for teaching me and others these Exercises. This happened to me the other day When I was sewing. I honestly will do these exercises every Single day and I will tell my friends about you. I'm seventy five And these hands Have worked very hard. We don't hardly ever go out to eat so therefore I cook every day and do a lot of sewing. ❤(MAHALO PLENYY) ❤ THANK YOU VERY MUCH❤
Please do not slough! When I tried the first exercise by closing my hands, the left hand refused to open. I had to use the right hand to lift the fingers back to their position. I waited a couple of minutes and tried again, but it happened again. After several times, that is when I started feeling better. You are so fantastic. Thank you so much. I am a new subscriber!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Did many hours of yardwork this morning, and this afternoon I found my hands cramping up like crazy. It was getting so uncomfortable. Thanks to your video, all better now!
I'm honestly in shock, just at the amount of instant relief. I was just looking up some tips on what to do for my cramping hands because I work at a keyboard all day. The initial exercises with the contractions honestly felt like they were kind of hurting at first even though I wasn't doing them that rough, but when I got to working the muscles between fingers and stretching them I was definitely noticing some change. When I wrapped up the last of the exercises with a small stress ball in my hand I felt like I had full range of motion in my hands again, thank you so much for this.
Thank you for your help and advice. I broke my leg a few weeks ago and had to use crutches. My hands now cramp up in the morning on waking. I’m a dentist so this isn’t great! I’m going to do these exercises a few times a day and let you know how I get on. Thank you 🙏
Not sure if this is the right site for me but I will give these exercises a try. Can’t hurt to try. My fingers pull themselves inward like a claw and so far only shaking my hand will help to stop whatever is going on. So far, this is the only video that seems to address this issue. Wish me luck because no doctor I’ve seen has been helpful. ❤️
Keep us posted if these helped! There are several other videos that you may also find helpful. I hope you can get to the bottom of what is going on! A hand therapist is also a great resource to try!
Thank you! My hands don't cramp, I am looking for a variety of ways to get feeling back into my fingers after an injury and backward motion in my wrist. I really like the one towards the end where you open the spaces between the fingers at their base. I put a foam ball in between my hands, and pushed my palms together to get some backward motion in my wrist. I noticed my fingers didn't feel as numb afterwards, and it's the farthest my wrist has bent back! 😊.
thank you Doc ...with my morning arthritis this is great ....your other video have soothed the pain ....from years of playing guitar then stopping and restarting..again danke enjoy your weekend
Iv been getting craps in my fingers and hand and sometimes my finger locks and just a few seconds ago I was using a q-tip and my hand got a cramp and I search stuff on RUclips what is happening then I clicked on this video and did the exercises and it helped a lot, I’m gonna do this more often 🙏
Thank you Michelle. I'm a former professional cellist, I say former because I have had to slow down due to hand fatigue. This video has been an insight into hand health. Glad to have found you and happy to be a new subscriber
I love to knit and I thought I would have to give it up because of hand cramping and numbing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us who don't want to give up what makes us happy.
I did a lot of vacuuming with a shop vac while helping a friend move. After coming home, I prepared dinner/ate, got on the computer.. relaxed. Upon brushing and flossing BOTH hands cramped up. Some how it stopped. I tried to finish flossing but it happened again (both hands all fingers) When I was able to type I found your exercises. Thank you!!!!!!! BTW this has never happened before and was extremely painful.
Thank you so much!!! I do a lot of handicrafts (knitting, crochet, drawing, patchwork quilting) and I’ve recently had to remove a whole lot of interfacing from my fabric... which meant a lot of pinching and pulling away from the fabric. To say my hands ended up rather cramped is probably putting it nicely, but after these exercises, I’m already feeling the difference!
I am going to try this. Now for me I get my fingers cramping when I am cooking , usually cutting vegetables , washing and so on. Will let you know Thank you.
Than you! This was super helpful! I have to use this glue for my art projects that is super hard to squeeze out of the bottle and everytime my hands end up cramping and sore. These excersices really helped!
Very good and effective excercises. Thanks millions. The way you explain is excellent .I do these with you atleast 3 times a day. In August I was diagnosed serious Arthritis with my severe Pain. One day I was watching you and started doing these movements Honestly I feel so good and relieved. God bless you merry Christmas and very happy New year. 🌷❤👍
As always appreciated and I continue these great excercises with you. No doubt everyone's favorite thing is doing these great excercises with you. Lord knows how good it is doing. Relived from severe pain. Many thanks.🌷
That really help my two fingers on my right hand where cramping bad do to my repetitive grasping of hangers at work. This exercise help relieve a lot of pain just not, just the massaging will be a little hard but it in time it's going to really help.
Recently I noticed myself a little bit of cramiping or suspicious finger trigger, and I practise these exercises n I found it very helpful. I always keep on watching your other videos too. Thanks.
Thank you doc this happend to me few weeks ago even today it hurt so bad i cant even write properly becouse of those cramps my hand writing looks like what a childs handwritting even when im taping on my phone it hurt so badly and i used to draw really good now i cant draw well becouse of the cramps☹️
This is great! I usually do the first part of the second exercise (full contraction of fingers), but didn't know about the release afterward. Not sure why my fingers cramp especially after I've been using my hands alot (after cooking, for example, having spent time peeling or chopping vegetables.) I assume my hand cramps are caused by diabetes, kidney disease, stenosis, and/or dehydration, all of which I suffer from, unfortunately, so I will make frequent use of these techniques. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am having this issue right now. I had been spraying with water hose weed control. My hands were cramping so bad, I couldn't lay them flat. Even my back is cramping from leaning over so much. I did try fist, seem to be really hard to do that. I looked for some stress balls, I didn't have any, but I did find tennis balls, that seem to help alot. Love these exercises, thank you.
WOAH MICHELLE, I THINK IT IS HELPING A BIT? WHAT ARE YOU? A MAGICIAN! WOAH IF ONLY I AHD THESE TECHNIQUES ALL THOSE TIMES I'VE GONE INTO CLASSES OR WORKPLACES OR UTSIDE IN GENERAL AND CRAMPING UP ! I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. I DODN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE BONES AND THINGS ARE CALLED!
Hi-=i just got a painful cramp in my left hand and fingers. Ii did a search for what to do, first coming up w verious supplements, the this video. The exercises worked right away! Couldn’t believe it. Thanks a lot!
Please help me. I had an operation on my hand because the thumb tendon was cut, and after removing the stitches, the doctor advised me to do physical therapy, but the thumb tendon got stuck, so the doctor returned the operation to me so that the tendon moved in its course easily. But now the tendon is still short and my thumb can't reach the palm of the hand and the hand muscle is weak and I still can't grab small things with my fingers. Please advise me with information and how long it takes for the tendon to return to its length, knowing that the first operation was in October and the second was in January, and thank you very much for the videos. They are very useful, but I find it difficult to apply them because the strength of my hands is weak, especially the thumb.
Thanks. I will definitely do this daily because I get cramps whenever I have to work with something small in my hands... even when I peel fruit/veggies or hold a fork
Bookmarking this video because as a competitive gamer, I cramp up a lot when using a controller which caused me to switch inputs to Mouse and Keyboard, however in the games I play that’s very disadvantageous. I just finished a 1 hour controller session and my hands felt like HELL, I iced them up and did these exercises and immediately felt the difference. If you’re a gamer, give these a try I highly recommend.
My dad is suffering from nerve damage and I'm going to help him by starting with these exercises. The cramps he has are bad and I'm praying that it will work
Yesterday I was playing the guitar for 3 hours straight and it was a song that required quite a lot of stretch and I have really small hands. Towards the end I got some really painful cramps in my left hand and I actually teared up a bit after but this helped to relieve the pain a little
Yeh, that's why I never say play through the pain anymore, I did the same thing by playing and practicing all night once. Couldn't play for like 1-2 months after that. I think I screwd up all the muscles and tendons is my hands.
Hello thank you for your help. I’m a guitar player who usually cramps up at some point in my performance. Do you have any specific exercises for guitar players. What I got from this video is the first I have found that shows me what to do. Thank you
