6 Simple Exercises to Strengthen Hand Muscles

Safety: Perform the movements slowly and within a comfortable range. Stop if there is sharp pain, swelling, increasing numbness, tingling, or worsening weakness.

Persistent or progressive weakness should be assessed before continuing a general exercise program.
