This is a great item I wish I had purchased earlier. Finger Weights address many of the differing aspects of finger rehab. It's definately worth the money! 
It’s all about re-habra-cadabra! Using magic as a therapy for an injured finger or hand. I won’t bother reiterating here everything I wrote. Just head on over to the article and read it there. Be sure to come back though.
Re-Habra-Cadabra! Magic Therapy For Your Fingers
Patrick
Here’s a simple trick that can be used early on in finger rehab. It doesn’t involve any overly complex moves, finger strength or extreme stretches, so it is an ideal effect to learn soon after an injury. It can be especially helpful if you have a swollen finger. Enjoy.
I knew that an injury to any one of your fingers can get in the way of every day tasks, but I would have never considered that it could put a race car driver on the sidelines.
With all the crazy things going on in the world, at least we all don’t have this womans’ problem.
Crash Breaks Woman’s Record Length Fingernails!
It says in the article she was ejected from her vehicle. You don’t suppose she had trouble buckling her seatbelt do you? Click the photo for the whole article. Or here: Fingernail woman.
As you know, I am a big believer that if you enjoy your therapy, you will do it more frequently and get better results. Therapy is painful and difficult, and in the past it has been incredibly boring. We can’t do much about the first two items, but we can fix the boredom.
Take a look at this video where therapists have discovered that using the Nintendo Wii helps their patients achieve faster results. No kidding!
Especially if you count on that finger (no pun intended) for your livelihood. This is what I went through. Some people might say, “What’s the big deal?” But, if you’ve been through this kind of trauma, then just like me you know what a set back it can be.
This story is about a basketball player who dislocated a finger and is struggling to get her game back. It makes great reading.
I love unusual approaches to finger rehabilitation. This idea makes use of a strategically placed mirror to fool the brain into thinking your injured hand is OK. Sometimes the only thing in the way of fast healing is the belief we can’t do it. This can take that factor out of the equation.
If you’re looking for a more in depth look at what to do from the onset of a finger injury, here is an article that can help. I’d like to give it a rating of excellent, but that would not be fair, since I wrote the darn thing. Perhaps the rating from the eZine website will suffice.
Anyway, check it out here: Finger Rehab, What you need to know!
Granted, it’s not real finger therapy, but it’s funny.
If you were to rate the importance of each finger on a scale of one to five, the pinky would probably come up last in nearly everyones opinion. Unless of course, you have had the experience of losing the use of the pinky!
While the loss of use of any of your digits can set you back, it is amazing how much impact that little finger has. One woman found out the hard way when she took a spill jogging and landed on her pinky.
Check out the following story from the New York Times: Get Along Without a Pinky?
Notice a couple of things. First, the importance of that littlest of fingers. I was quite surprised myself at how much difficulty she encountered.
Second… look at what happens if you don’t jump right into finger rehab! After FIVE MONTHS she still couldn’t bend her finger, and it left her with an inability to hold things in her hand. She couldn’t even grab a vacuum cleaner, although for me, that would be a plus.
Scar tissue develops really quickly, and if you are not aggressive with therapy right away, you can easily get behind. This woman’s therapist did not get her moving the digit, which resulted in her needing more surgery 5 months later and starting the therapy process all over again. This time, she did it right!
Obviously, time is not for wasting! It’s bad enough if it takes longer to recover without therapy, but it’s worse if you have to undergo more surgery or lose the use of that finger forever.
