Hand arthritis is painful and affects strength and mobility, but you can manage it with exercise, such as fine motor skill development, pain management, motion tolerance, and weight training.
Fremont, CA: Arthritis in your hand is a painful condition that reduces your hand strength and mobility, causing you to have knotted joints and bent fingers.
How Exercise Can Help Arthritis in Your Hands and Wrists
It's hard and painful to get a range of motion back with arthritis tightness. Hand-strengthening exercises are crucial to preventing worsening symptoms and restoring function. As a result, fine motor skills are allowed, so there's more mobility, less pain, and better functioning.
Hand and Wrist Exercises for Arthritis
Hand therapists and occupational therapists say you just let the pain guide you, build your tolerance for motion and light strength, and don't do anything that flares it up. A few push-ups and non-resistive movements a day are fine, but you should do weight and resistance exercises three times a week.
Getting arthritis symptom relief starts with these movements.
The Warm-Up Ball
Using a tennis ball to warm up your hands before exercise will get you warmed up.
