Exercises For Finger Weakness with Therapy Putty

In this video I will demonstrate how to strengthen your fingers using therapy putty. Therapy putty is the most versatile tool for finger strengthening. It is my favorite way to address finger weakness. First I will show you how to use the therapy putty in some of tendon glide movements. Second, I will show you how to use the therapy putty to strengthen finger abductors and adductors. Third, I will go over the putty exercises from the manual that came in the Hand Therapy Kit, made by Special Supplies. I did a full review for this Kit so make sure to check out that video please! Exercise prescription: No more than 5 minutes of continuous use of the putty. You could aggravate your existing injury or cause unnecessary soreness and pain. There are a lot of exercises here. You don’t have to do all of them to increase grip strength. Work with your physical therapist or hand therapist on which exercises you should do. These exercises are great for finger strengthening as well as getting rid of finger stiffness.

Home Scoliosis Exercises That You Need to Know

I didn’t actually want to make this video because I’m not a scoliosis PT. I am not certified to teach scoliosis anymore and I don’t remember a lot of the things I used to teach. However I do remember some basic exercises. The first exercise is the easiest one to do I my opinion: semi hanging. Semi hanging is much more doable than full hanging. There are also more modifications you can do. I will demonstrate three variations of semi hanging, from easy to hard. The second exercise is still easy to do, but a bit more tricky to set up: supine breathing with traction Both of these exercises utilize traction AND breathing. The goal is to strengthen the intercostal muscles while you traction your spine. The semi hanging tractions your spine through your upper body (your arms), and the supine breathing set up tractions your spine through your lower body (your hips). Both are great and both are important. I have also included two bonus exercises at the end that supplement these exercises. The traction component in the two exercises are also great for lumbar decompression.
