Finger massage |

I have not used the finger massage thing that is made of steel that you see for sale on the counters in climbing gyms. There was a 'flossing' fad, that I have not heard much of lately, that was supposed to improve blood flow to the fingers, although from my anecdotal evidence I can't say whether trying it hindered or helped the recovery of my finger injury at the time. I think its mostly a gimmick - I don't think giving your finger a massage with this steel finger massage thing would be more effective for increasing blood flow than just getting some hand cream and lubing up an o-ring with the thumb and fore-finger of the opposite hand and giving it a bit of the old in-out with the affected finger (I've heard this method works better if you film it and put it on your instagram story feed).
For rehabbing tendon and pulley fingers, I'm a huge fan of just hangboarding with weight removed on a pulley system, and then very slowly reintroducing that weight over time. Less sure if that works for Tenosynovitis, which from your brief description sounds like you may have. |
