finger stretches
Hand flexibility exercises
Finger stretches are exercises that extend and flex the fingers to improve flexibility, relieve tension, or prevent strain.
Common among musicians, typists, and anyone doing repetitive hand work: I do finger stretches before practicing piano.
Physical therapists prescribe them for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis.
