Keeping the fingers flexible and strong is very important in preventing hand pain and maintaining grip strength. For those who use their hands often (musicians, writers, carpenters, etc), the risk for developing some sort of debilitating condition in the hand starts to increase. That is why it is important to keep the hands healthy and exercise them as often as possible. Building strong hands, wrists, and fingers will prevent a decline in your ability to grasp everyday items, and also regulate circulation in the hands. Healthy blood circulation is important to keep the fingers loose and working properly and also helps with skin infections or joint swelling. Here we look at some of the best hand exercises known to improve your finger strength and flexibility and to keep the hands working optimally.
