Thank you, just had carpal tunnel surgery on 10/18. This video is the best.

Wow Michelle, thank you for gathering up all these precious easy-to-follow exercises in one video & for practicing them real time instead of just showing them! ☺🙏 You give me hope that one day my fingers will be fully functional again!

Thank you ! My arthritic fingers haven't felt this good in years. So happy to find your website. Your pace is perfect 👌

Yes, thank you!! You are not only professional and clearly experienced, but also encouraging, positive and so very intuitive.

[@JoannaDay-h3q]

Thank you so much - this is just what I needed. I had wrist surgery 6 weeks ago and my fingers are very stiff. This video is so helpful, as is your one for the wrist. I shall be doing these daily now as it is really making a big difference.

[@kimthom5793]

After breaking my wrist last November i really feel the need to stretch my fingers more than just usual movement. This is really helpful thanks.

Thank you! Thank you! Michelle. God bless you! ❤

[@wendybarker590]

Thank you so much Michelle for collating these fabulous exercises into one video. I've been doing these and others from your catalogue since my cast removal, after a wrist fracture (distal radius and ulna) in September, have made a good recovery as my fingers were very stiff (thumb and index finger weren't even in the same neighbourhood!) and now I can easily form a C with each finger and almost a full fist. Courtesy of the fracture and being immobilized in a cast for 6 weeks I also discovered thumb arthritis - and your videos have been tremendously helpful here as well. Now need to work further on wrist strengthening, in tandem with a recent diagnosis of adhesive capsulitus (frozen shoulder) which explains tge increasingly intense shoulder and upper arm pain since the cast removal. Yikes - a whole heap of pain, sleepless nights, and a long journey ahead I understand, meanwhile it's important to acknowledge your kindness and generosity in sharing your expertise and exercises which have helped me so much with wrist and hand recovery.

​@@VirtualHandCare I had a severe dislocation and fracture of the L ring finger on 3/23/23. Surgery on 3/30 required a plate, 3 pins & 2 screws. . Middle ring & pinky fingers all affected with swelling and stiffness. Nearly 4 months later, I still can't make a fist. I am unable to move the DIP/PIP of the ring finger without forcing them. What exercises can you recommend that will help me?

[@MysteryLimit333]

[@sohcahtoa8960]

Hi Michelle, I broke my proximal humerus 3 months ago and I had a plate with 9 screws put in. My hand on that side has been swollen and has progressively gotten very little range of motion, pain, and stiffness. My surgeon said to wait 3 months before doing anything. He finally put me on steroids and the swelling is not as bad but I still can't straighten or bend my fingers. I did these exercises but I am barely moving my fingers before pain sets in. My index finger will not straighten and is curved. Do you have any videos to work on that? Insurance will not pay for OT so I found your video. I will keep at it and hopefully I can get my hand use back. Thank you for making this to help me! I like your style and appreciate that your video takes me though the entire set of exercises.

July 2, 2023 THANK YOU for all the wonderful exercises, but right now especially this one. After being in a cast for 6 weeks, I was so stiff, I didn’t hope to be able to make a fist soo soon! I’m almost there!!

[@katiweitzenfeld7293]

And it’s really helpful that you are doing all in real time, finger by finger ❤

[@CHUKWUELOZONAMOKONJOR]

Hi there, I saw your comment now and this kind of gave me hope. I had a right 3rd metacarpal fracture and I had a cast on for exactly 6 weeks. Removed it last week Thursday. But my fingers are still super stiff and it gets worse when I wake up in the morning. I can’t make a fist yet. Just my fingers coming down half way. Please how long did it take you to come this far to success ? I’ll appreciate any encouragement from you 🙏🏿

[@katiweitzenfeld7293]

@@CHUKWUELOZONAMOKONJOR Hi! Well…. It is a slow process . It took me 8 weeks, but now I can make a proper fist 🤜. The first three weeks I wasn’t very diligent but after that I did the exercises at least once or twice a day. It still gets stiff in the mornings but after a warm pack and some exercise it eases up. Don’t despair, it’s a slow progress, but it will get easier. And I think it’s important to notice and appreciate any little progress, it spurred me on to keep up the work.

[@adelecasden3051]

Michelle I enjoy your exercises. I broke my pinky on left hand 2 months ago. It’s been out of cast after pinning surgery about 5 weeks. My pinky is still so swollen. The cast was too tight. I see there’s an electric hand messager. Do you think I should try it? I bought a soft ball to squeeze. I’m doing this set of exercises twice daily. After exercises my pinky hurts. Also my wrist hurts. I’m wearing a simple wrap on my wrist. Also how long do I sleep with my hand on a pillow? I’m in Calabasas, California.

[@dianeball8515]

On Jan. 17, 2023, I broke my wrist very badly. I've been frustrated, lately, with my P.T. and love your exercises. I was one of those patients, who had the hammer side to side, like you said. This was early in my recovery and because of the weght of the hammer, which was a small size, it was very uncomfortable and hard to hold. I was, also, told to wiggle my fingers. I was surprised to never get a cast, I had a splint and I could not wiggle my thumb. Then, I was given a brace, which kept rubbing on the middle inside of my thumb. When these devices were removed, I had a VERY STIFF thumb, which hurt like the dickens! I am still in P.T. and even though I have told my P.T. that my fingers, hand, and wrist were swollen, it was only a few days where he started working on the stiffness. My surgery was on Jan. 23 and I'm still having the swollen fingers with tingling (feels like they are asleep).

[@bobrome6549]

I'm a guitar player and just turned 65. My fretting hand (left) has been getting worse with common OA in the index and middle - literally cramping my playing. When I do your PIP blocking bend my left index snaps - kind of a clunk and wips down. I guess that's trigger finger. Any suggestions to help that? Assuming I should just continue the exercises regardless. Thanks so much for your therapeutic vid's!

[@VirtualHandCare]

Sounds like to could be. Best to get it checked out by your doctor! I do have other videos that could help too- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iInPgqKchqtjrZY

I have a question my wife just had surgery on the middle finger tendon still has stitches, but she can move her fingers little but her finger hurts because she can not lower it much that exercises can help her move her fingers and if after the stitches are removed she will be able to do a little more movement in her fingers.

[@simsationsgold7177]

Do you have anything for finger swelling?What the cause behind the swelling? I'm just healing from a hairline fracture in the dip of my index finger. It is healed, but I need to go for physio for two weeks for it. How often should I perform these exercises? Hope it helps to calm down the swelling. I'm due to return to work afterward. My work involves lifting. Are there any extra tips? (Trys to make claw) mmhhh. Sigh. Sorry, I'm anxious to return to duty.
