- Michelle, from Virtual Hand Care, guides you through her Top 5 Finger and Thumb Strengthening Exercises with Therapy Putty. This follow along video will give your fingers and thumb the workout they need to improve your hand grip and pinch strength.
Did you know you need at least 20 lbs of Grip strength and 3-4 lbs of Finger strength to do most daily activities? And your thumb does half of your pinch strength that is why it is important to include your thumb in your hand strengthening routine.
If you are having difficulty opening bags, typing, tying your shoes, or just want to work on improving your hand and finger strength, then these exercises are for you!
These finger and thumb therapy putty exercises will work on key pinch, tip pinch, 3 point pinch, hook fist, full fist, and thumb extension. Michelle is using 4 ounces of light resistance x- soft yellow putty in this video. She recommends using 4 or 6 ounces when doing these exercises.

Thank you so so much. I need this help after my ulna and radius fracture. Never stop. I bought this putty and am using it,.
Thank you so much for these videos. I had broken my radius on right arm and I'm in healing without a splint week 8. Doing finger rehab at home and doctor wants me to exercise fingers but just told me open and close which is nothing. Ur exercises help me so much that i know im ahead of time when i go to real rehab. Just need to loosen up the thumb and index finger and my wrist. Thanks again
Very nice and so useful
Broke my elbow and hand. Your videos have been an amazing help. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I had thumb curettage and graft one month ago because of thumb enchondroma and my thumb is quite stiff. You really help me to strengthen those muscles ♥️👍
Very good, thank you, I am having problems building up muscle for the thumbs up, my radial nerve has healed and thumb pinch is good, but thumb extension is there but weak.
Cool
❤❤❤
I like theses exercises. Wish i had seen theses long ago. Whereas my first introdu tion to theraputty was pulling objects out of the putty. Im not too fond of that. But i need to rehab my stroke affected hand. Thank you.
All your videos are very helpful. my injury was April 20th. I still am not able to fully move my thumb up as far as normal. still working on the exercises from your site.
Thank you very much I am a mobile PT and this is very helpful
You're welcome! Glad it can help your pts!
Thank you SO much. Big help. When I make a fist and roll my hand (like knocking on a door) I fell tingling in my middle and ring finger. Is this normal?
多謝！
Thank you for the Super Thanks!!! 🙏
I think you're exactly what I'm looking for. I just spent 6 days in the hospital with at staff (MRSA) infection in my right index finger. The nurse said check out hand therapy on youtube. I was left with a descent sized wound between my PIP and MP joints. I'm still dressing it with packing strip, but the wound is getting smaller. I want to stay out in front of this to maximize ROM as I recover. Extension is not the issue, it's flexion. Can you point me to which videos you think might be most applicable?
I leave my OT and then come to your channel to get extra helpful tips. (Radius Distal Fracture) Thank you!
You are welcome!
As a violinist, this is very helpful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I broke my pinky almost two months ago and needed pins placed in to straighten it, i had those pins removed recently and my pinky is sooo stiff right now! I've been watching your videos to help me get my ROM back but im having trouble keeping my pinky straight. What should i do?
Mam please make videos to cure hyper extension elbow problems .
Your help need me.
I’m making scented playdough for me and my elderly sisters. Will the typical playdough be strong enonough? If not, do you have a stiffer recipe?
How often do you do it? Once a day, every other day?
Can you make a video on how to improve fingerprints and how to control sweating on palms
At night i clench my fist really hard, and it hurts when i wane up. I also cant seem to have straight hands when supporting weight on them, the fingers will curl. No diagnosis for now, but will these exercises help or make it worse?
I am a cardio drumming teacher and my fingers and palms get sore after drumming. What hand exercises would you recommend?
I’m trying to be able to do the Batman eyes
I fell on ice in the road on March 7, 2023, and shattered my wrist and had distal radial surgery on March 15th where the Dr. installed a metal plate with 8 screws. I recently found your videos because my cast just came off on Thursday and I will be starting physical therapy as soon as I can but for now, I'm on my own and my Dr. wants me to start working it. I did keep my fingers as mobile as I could while in the cast. I bought the putty, the foam and a couple other hand therapy balls I found but are still too firm to use at this point. My wrist is still pretty swollen and sore. Very limited mobility right now but I'm hoping with all these exercises, I'll regain my strength and flexible mobility back. I think I want it to happen faster than it's going to take but I'm willing to do the work because I don't want it to stay like this. :(
Sending you lots of strength as you navigate your recovery! It will take time but be diligent about your rehab exercises and find a therapist that supports you. 💜
Where Could you get the Hard Putty From,
Does this help with trigger finger.
No this is not for trigger finger. I have several videos on trigger finger. Here is one of them- czcams.com/video/RXlQofQF0w4/video.html
Madam your videos are very useful for my wife. Because she has arthritis from 2001. But she see your videos daily and practice it time to time. She wants to thank you personally. Is it possible. Please reply.
@@brandon5012 Creep means kneel down. In Hindustani it is doing Namaskar to her. Because Michelle is doing good to my wife. So I am ready to kneel down. Thanks Michelle. Again.
I am happy to hear the videos are helping your wife! You are welcome!
What if after you do these exercises, the most pain you have is in the palm below your thumb.
I like the blue putty
LOL I Put the yellow putty IN my pocket and took a nap. Good bye yellow putty and Gym short LOL...
Ohhhh noooooo! 😩
You don't need putty; all that can be done just using your hand (and that exercise is useless anyway).
