1. Open. Sit in a sturdy chair. This hand and finger script is for a later recording. It is not a video.
2. Open and close. Open both hands, then gently close them. Ten times. Skip a hand that is sore.
3. Thumb touches. Touch the thumb to each fingertip, one at a time, then open the hand. Two rounds on each hand.
4. Wrist turns. Rest a forearm on your thigh. Turn the palm up and down slowly. Six turns each side.
5. Soft squeeze. If you have a soft ball or a folded cloth, give it a gentle squeeze and release. Eight times each hand. A fist without an object is fine.
6. Close. Shake the hands loose only if that feels good. Rest them on your lap.

Stop for chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or significant pain. Use a sturdy chair. Move only in a comfortable range, and use a seated option when you want one. This is not treatment, not a diagnosis, and not physical therapy. If you have a health condition, a recent surgery, an injury, or major limits on mobility, ask a qualified professional before you try these movements.
