I have advanced RA joint/tendon damage/deformity/loss of motion. So far one thumb surgery. My PT always leave me wanting more & feeling hopeless when they say there's nothing more they can do for me. Michelle is so explicit & seems to know hand damage, even severe is not hopeless, As I am struggling to follow along, I cant bend some joints, or straighten others & I'm almost crying but not from pain, she makes it okay, saying just do what you can. My future doesn't feel so bleak,.I wish I could see her in person. Thank you Michelle for strengthening my hands & heart. :)
Oh my!! I am so grateful for you and thank you for this heart felt post. 🙏 I never want anyone to feel hopeless. Find a therapist that understands you and your condition. Keep moving. You doing these exercises on your own shows you have so much strength and resilience. 💕
My dear Michelle millions of thanks You are a great person. God bless you. You are really a caring person and Work so hard towards our Painful problem. We all love you🌷
Those exercises helped me so much after only a couple sessions. So well explained. I plan on continuing with them each morning. So pleased I found you! Thank you!
Thank you so very much, I was diagnosed with RA, AS, about three years ago, have been on medication and back exercises. Only for the past two months, it has been very difficult for my hands. Your video has made my day! I will visit this once a day as you mentioned! Thanks for taking me through this ever so patiently!
So glad I found your videos soon after a surgery for a fractured and displaced humerus. Trying to work in all the exercises for hand elbow and shoulder mobilisation. Love your caring , sensitive , positive and encouraging way of teaching. God Bless you
Hi! I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis and this is the first time I've ever even known about hand exercises. I did them all and I will continue to as I feel these will be great for me. I didn't realize how bad my joints have become until now. Most of these were fairly easy but some joints seem to be worse than others. I had trouble doing the straight fist, not full fist and my fingers were trying to cramp up as well as my left wrist grinding and not moving in the circular motion like you show. I have a few fingers that didn't want to cooperate because they were broken/fractured around 20 years ago. Thank you so much for this! I will update my progress after doing these daily for awhile. God bless you!
I also to have experienced this because my ER doctor did not even suggest anything like this after I had broken my finger I had to figure out everything on my own. These doctors now days don't follow through with care wants you are out of their office you're forgotten. I had to go through reading about my finger and learning exercises on my own eventually I found a hand therapist and she did help me and gave me small exercises but not like what I found on this video. I'm sorry to hear you have fibromyalgia. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with my wrist in a fist. So I continue to do the exercises. Slowly improving
God bless You!!! I am so thankful for this video, I am in a lot of pain in both hands, trigger finger and stiffness, and Y am going to do this exercises 3 times a day. Thank You very Much🙏Great Video!!!!!
I had started doing these exercises some months ago & stopped as I had no time. A friend recommended your channel to me & am totally inspired ! I have acute arthritis esp in my fingers & toes. I'm going to be regular now. Thank you so much.
Your exercise programs for trigger thumb. and arthritis have become a daily routine for me and have been extremely helpful. Your instructions are beautifully explained and demonstrated. You are great. Really appreciated. Thank you kindly.
Thank you very much. I am 58 years old and I’m starting to experience quite a bit of pain in my hands with painful joints at the fingers. I really appreciate these exercises.
Thanks again for these exercise videos. I am 74 and have arthritis so bad cannot sleep at night. Stabbing like pain off and on at night. Sometimes I have to get up a couple times a night and do some of these stretches to get back to sleep. Cannot even get close to closing hands. Takes me awhile to get around in the mornings but once I go through the routine can start functioning again. Pain nerve leaves altogether but I can function after the exercises. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for walking me through this exercise. It was helpful and relieving since RA has affected my ring finger on the right hand making it difficult for it to bounce back with the red of my fingers. I will watch it again and do more.
Merry Christmas and happy new year. Wish you all the best love-health-peace and success in life. Thanks for working so hard for us. You will get the best reward from the top. Love.⚘
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a young adult but my family has a history of RA esp. in the hands and I want to be proactive. The exercises felt really nice as well :)
Thanks for the video, with a slow mind I find it hard to remember what to do coming back to this helps considerably. I was lost on what to do this morning and then it came to my mind to search for an appropriate vedio. My center finger gets so tight with pain sometimes it want stop hurting all day so I gently pressure it a bit to help free it up at each exercise. some nights there is no sleep on account of it but if i can recall I will go to one of your videos in the middle of the night and get a bit of relief. Thank for you instructions have a good day.
I'm daily doing exercises with you though can't do exactly like you because of swelling but I am managing somehow, thanks you have a lovely disposition, sweet voice excellent way of explaining exercises.
Thank you for this video it helps me start my day to release tension from my hands. Dealing with RA my hand tend to be swollen all the time. I really appreciate you taking the time to put this video out for us that suffered from RA. Thank you again.
Oh my goodness! No one told me about these exercises. Even with doing these exercises for the first time, I feel so good and positive about regaining my muscle strength, fine motor activities, or at least preventing their further loss. God bless you!
Excellent job. All excercises are great. Very Effective and easy to do. I can't wait to do all these Excellent excercises with You. May God bless you for Sharing great videos.❤
I am glad I found your video. I start to developing pain on my fingers and do a few research , it’s seem like I have RA . Follow your exercise, I fell better even for the first time . I do believe in exercise so I will definitely keep it up and try to get natural inflammation extract and food to help to fight my problems. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and good work.
Thank you I have chronic graft versus host disease that had caused stiffness and swelling in my hands and has inflamed my body. I am scheduled to meet with a joint doctor for exercizes this week but must say these seem very helpful.
I’m a pianist, but I haven’t been able to seriously play piano for a while because I have really bad chronic migraines. Thankfully, those started to get a bit better this past winter, so I started playing again. My hands started to ache while I was doing simple exercises and I don’t know why but I thought that was a sign that my hands were out of shape. Turns out it was rheumatoid arthritis. Stellar luck, am I right? 😂 Thank you for making this. I really want to keep playing piano for as long as I can, even though my hands are definitely not what they used to be, and I’m hoping that these exercises will help with the fatigue I’m feeling in my wrists from both piano and my day-to-day activities!
Thank you so much for these exercises, have more range of motion and strength in my fingers. Had broken little finger and ring finger which were pinned together for quite a while, wasn’t healing very well as I am a Type 1 Diabetic and needed a cast on for longer than usual. I have little use for my left hand, fingers will not bend without a lot of pain, but with your exercises hope to get more flexibility, thank you!
