Hi - ouch...sorry to hear about your pinky. Hopefully, you are fully healed! We actually launched a new company that focuses on these types of classes, designed to reduce hand pain and improve hand function (and we now also include other body parts).

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the class. I love doing Baoding Balls....fun, and so good for your hands and health! If you want to improve your hand strength and hand dexterity, you can check out this free video as well (hand yoga): mymotioncoach.com/programs/hand-yoga-free-class-22cf6b?category_id=166337

There are many correct ways to use Baoding balls, including touching, clanking, and no-touch.

Hey everyone, Ideally, the balls should not clack together, but that just takes practice. You can do them so that the balls do touch constantly, or do not touch constantly. If they are clacking, you can try slowing down and doing your best to keep the balls either apart or together. Good luck!

@@JamberHands Clacking the balls allows a practitioner to infinitely vary the rhythm, sounds and physical feedback to facilitate meditative focus. Touch and no touch are only two small endpoints on a very long line.

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense Thank you for the explanation. You bring up a great point that it is more than just the physicality of the balls that are in play here.

@@JamberHands You are welcome. Try to maintain a steady clacking rhythm without all of your attention being on the rhythm. Change the rhythm. A clack every half revolution, a single clack with a slide feel, etc. Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm. Enjoy! 😊

Smaller balls are easier to use, so if you can slowly work with larger balls, then it's better for your hand. Good luck.

That may be exactly the reason. Good luck!

I'm so glad that you found our videos helpful. I've been messing around with Baoding balls since I was about 12 years old. They are so great for our hands, and for our minds. We're actually working on re-starting some LIVE virtual Baoding Ball classes again. Possibly in the coming month or so. You get more info at www.mymotioncoach.com.

Thanks.

Excellent advice!

Wow - nice comment. Turns out that thousands of people use that jar opener every day, and love it. Myself included. And my hands are extremely strong.

Just keeping it real skippy. That red one is junk. Limited size lids it can be used on, doesn’t grip well. If you don’t have arthritis you’d be better off putting dry rice in a bowl, sticking your hands into it, then opening and closing them to strengthen your muscles. Anyhoo, your comment about it was hard after opening the first jar had my wife laughing.

I hope our videos help. Good luck!

My pleasure. I'm so glad that your baoding balls and our videos can help your hands feel better! And awesome combo of bioeng'ng and physiology. Love it!

If your hands are smaller, then you can start with a smaller set of baoding balls. However, you can also start with the medium chiming balls, and slowly work on the skills. The smaller balls usually do not come with chimes. They are usually solid metal, which means they are a little heavier (which is more of a workout for your hands).

Hi. The larger the ball is (relative to your hand), the more difficult the exercise is (and the better for your hands!). So, if you have very small hands, and are using smaller balls, which are still large compared to your hands, then you would do all the same exercises. Just take your time, and you can build up amazing coordination and dexterity. The trick is to do a little bit every day (or every few days). Good luck!

Hi Gordon - we recommend the 1.5" hollow chiming mediation balls. Here's the link to our recommended Baoding balls: www.jamber.com/collections/hand-care-products/products/chiming-meditation-balls Thanks.

I’m using 2” steel and copper, 2” tungsten, 2.5” solid steel, and 3” solid steel.

There is a 0.25x playback option on the video. That should help.

Hi - thank you for the feedback. I tried to create videos that would help at all levels, but you bring up a great point. I'll keep this in mind for future videos. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the tip of 0.25x speed or just slower playback in general. You can adjust playback speed by clicking on the SETTINGS icon (bottom right of screen of the video you're watching, looks like a gear sprocket), then clicking on PLAYBACK SPEED.

You should give HAND YOGA a try. You might really like it. It is designed to strengthen and stretch arthritic sore hands. You can check it out at www.mymotioncoach.com. We've done all sorts of classes for hands - these Baoding ball classes, hand strengthening classes, hand yoga, etc. Good luck!

Yes. It will help to strengthen your hands, giving you more control. Also consider Hand Yoga for your hands. www.mymotioncoach.com.

don't keep your elbow sticking to your body, and don't tense it. the elbow should be away from the body, the balls being about two feet away from the chest or stomach. while sitting down, rest the elbow on a thick pillow on the lap or the knee to keep the spine straight. while walking, have the balls as high as the navel, having the elbow relaxed. I suggest that you use lighter baoding balls and also use basic stretching and other forms of workout.

Great response @ravenhawkeagle5261.

Hi. This exercise is about your hands, not your elbows. So, you can try to support your elbows so that they are not getting irritated. A few suggestions: - support your elbows with a cushion on your lap when you're doing the exercises - try extending and contracting your arms (to open and close the elbow joint) as you're doing the baoding balls. This can help get synovial fluid flowing through your elbow joint, which can help to keep that joint more mobile. - ice your elbows after you use baoding balls - try doing baoding balls lying down, with both arms to your side, with r hands lying by your side. Let me know if any of these suggestions help!

@@JamberHands would love to see another one of these videos maybe with slightly more difficult exercises or just a more in depth video on them. love what your doing man keep it up !

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry about the shipping restriction.

Thanks Fred. This was mostly taken at Harvard when we spent a year at the Harvard Innovation Lab (where we won the Grand Prize).

It is our pleasure Adam. Keep up the good fight!

Thanks.

Hi Dianne, I personally don't wash the massager tool until it gets particularly oily. However, there's no problem with washing it everyday if you like. Just allow it to dry.

Thanks Cheryl!
