9 Useful Exercises For Strengthening Your Hand

Level 2 exercises for palm rehabilitation

After you’ve achieved some control over your weaker hand, proceed to level 2. For these exercises, you’ll need a table, pen and a small bottle filled with water. Note that even at this level, it is still recommended to perform level 1 exercises as a warm-up

1. Finger bending

• Place your weaker palm on the table, facing up.

• Place a small bottle filled with water on your palm and keep your fingers relaxed.

• Slowly bend your fingers to catch the bottle, then release.

• Repeat the exercise 5 times.

2. Wrist curl

• Put your elbow on the table, hold a bottle in your weak hand, and hold the weaker hand’s arm with your stronger hand.

• Bend the wrist upward and then release it slowly.

• Repeat the exercise 10 times.

3. Grip and release

• Place a pen on the table and hold it with your weak fingers.

• Then, slide the pen on the table from one side to the other, and release it.

• Make sure your fingers gently grip the pen and use as little force as possible to move it.

• Repeat the exercise 5 times.
