Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hello,

Firstly please get yourself screened for rheumatoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints and muscles in your body. Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation, pain, and discomfort in the joints. This discomfort is often prolonged which can cause various other issues in the body and may even affect your mood. One of the most common body parts that are affected is the hands. Rheumatoid arthritis in the hands is often ignored while treating arthritis. Various medications, foods, and exercises have helped reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Some easy-to-follow hand exercises to reduce and relieve pain from your hands' joints.

Finger bends: You are required to exercise one finger at a time. Open your palms and slowly bend one of your fingers inwards. As if you are folding your finger. Hold this position for ten seconds and release. Repeat this with all your fingers and your thumbs. This exercise helps reduce stiffness and pain in your finger joints. Repeat at least five to ten times on each finger and thumb. This exercise is great for people who have to write or type often.

Fists: Try to squeeze your fist in as much as you can. This exercise can help reduce stiffness from various joints in your hands. Make sure to repeat this exercise four to six times and hold each fist for at least 10 to 20 seconds

Wrist rolls: This exercise is a great way to start your workout routine. Lack of flexibility in your wrists can affect the movement and exercises in other parts of your body.

Finger lifts: Exercise focuses on strengthening and bettering your knuckles. To perform this exercise, place your palms flat on a table. Slowly lift one finger at a time, off the table. Hold this stretch for about ten seconds and perform with each finger and thumb.

Ripping stretch: As the name suggests, you are required to practice grip under this exercise. To perform this exercise, you might require a squeezable ball. This ball should be about four to six cm big and should fit in your fist comfortably. Now, squeeze this ball for about ten seconds and release. Alter the intensity of squeezing according to your convenience. Perform into five sets on both hands.
