These exercises strengthen the support muscle structure of the palms and improve the range of finger movement and control of different fingers. At the beginning, it is good to exercise daily, but not for longer than is recommended. When the muscles have become stronger, 3–4 times a week may be sufficient.

Exercise 1

• Place your elbow on a surface that gives you support. The palm is facing downwards.
• In the starting position, the wrist is at a gentle 15-degree angle in relation to the forearm, at the same time turning 15 degrees outwards. The fingers are relaxed. 
• Make a wide, arched movement with your thumb and bring your index finger and thumb together. Stretch the base of the thumb and index finger as wide as possible.
• Spread the knuckles apart in a straight line. Let the fingers remain as relaxed as possible.
• Keep the muscles actively working for five seconds. Relax your hand.
• Repeat the exercise four more times. Then, repeat the exercise five times with the other hand.

Exercise 2

• Place your elbow on a surface that gives you support. The palm is facing downwards.
• In the starting position, the wrist is at a gentle 15-degree angle in relation to the forearm, and the hand turns 15 degrees outwards.
• The thumb makes an arched movement sideways, down, and towards the fingers and remains in an arched position.
• Straighten your fingers and move the knuckles as far from each other as possible. Keep the muscles actively working for five seconds.
• Relax your hand.

Exercise 3

• In the starting position, the hand rests on a surface, the forearm supported. The palm is facing upwards.
