Michelle, Founder of Virtual Hand Care, shows you how to increase finger flexion with a pencil. This proven technique will work for one finger or all your fingers.
Best of all, the only equipment you will need is a pencil. Simply place it comfortably between your fingers while using the support of the pencil to actively flex, or bend.
This exercise is perfect for anyone that has achy joints on both hands. Using a pencil reduces the strain on your other hand. Which is common when performing passive stretches to the fingers.
The pencil helps block the more mobile joints of your hand while transferring the force to the smaller joints of your fingers.
By the end of this demonstration video, your whole hand will feel more flexible and free from joint stiffness!
These finger flexion exercises work on improving the mobility of your finger flexors, decreasing joint stiffness, and increasing 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 are for you!
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 purchase any expensive equipment.
Please comment below to let me, and others, know how these finger flexion exercises felt for you. And share this video with friends and family... I'm sure their hands could use a little TLC too!

Hi Michelle, I am a guitarist of 55+ years. At 70, I am having some thumb & wrist joint arthritic issues. Your pencil/finger exercises are extremely helpful with isolation, strengthening and especially proper alignment. I can almost play without distracting pain. So I am adding a pencil to my daily micro finger exercises. Thank you!

Thank you for this exercise! My index finger, top joint, is stiff and swollen. This movement immediately brought some flexibility into that joint! No special tools required!👍

Hi Michelle, thanks for the amazing video! Does it matter if the wrist is in a neutral upright position/slightly flex/extend when I do this exercise? Which position would help mobilize FDP excursion most?

Thank you for these videos I love them!. The most helpful have been the pencil exercises, I also like the "radial walk." I see improvement after one week! Yay! I complete two videos 2-3 times in the week so far. The extra stretch with the pencil has provided me with Relief!! thank goodness, and the "power claw" with a highlighter is working well. Thank you so much!!

Wow I did it while the video was going. Although it stung at times my finger get I think feel better. I used a pen but will have to find a pencil and pad it a bit. But I think it helped. I have trigger finger that hurts sometimes to be elbow, or it also hurts in the fleshy part of my hand. Thanks

thanks for the video! as a musician, developing finger independence is crucial for a good technique.and as far as know, the middle and ring finger's tendons are connected to each other which for example makes It difficult to bend down the middle finger independent from the ring finger or lift the ring finger independently.is there an exercise to stretch that tendon connection down towards the wrist, so that you can move your middle and ring finger with more freedom and get a more control over them?

Hi Michelle, i had a boxer fracture and went through an surgery. Cast is removed after 4 weeks. After 10 days my MP flexion had increased but my PIP flexion and extension is very bad. I am doing this pencil exercise but it sting a lot(painful). how long will it take so that i can have significant range of motion or i can make a fist?
