4. Exercises for Trigger Finger Relief

Therapists recommend exercises that individuals with trigger finger can do throughout the day to keep the hand supple and ease tension. Here are three easy ones:

  1. Finger Extension Stretch: Lay the hand face-down on a flat surface. Gently lift the affected finger with the other hand, stretching the finger as far back as possible; hold for a count of five. One set of finger extension stretches is four or five repetitions. Aim to complete a set a few times each day.
  2. Finger Spread: Pinch all the fingers together and slide a rubber band over them. Keeping fingers straight, squeeze and open several times, ensuring there is tension from the band. Repeat a few times daily.
  3. Palm Press - using a small rubber ball, squeeze and hold for a count of ten. Open hand wide and release the ball. Repeat a few times.
