Finger Extensors strengthening

Note: If you are viewing exercise videos on a mobile device, please switch to horizontal view for the best experience.

Using a simple elastic band placed around the top of the fingers of your closed hand, there are three simple exercises you can do to strengthen your Finger Extensors. With the first exercise simply keep your hand level with your forearm and with the rubber band pulling your fingers together, then open and close your hand to strengthen the finger extensors – repeat as you feel comfortable. The second exercise incorporates the same motion but the hand should be bent downwards. The third position sees the hand bent upwards and carrying out the same strengthening exercises with the rubber band. As your grip and Finger Extensors strengthen you can use thicker and thicker rubber bands.
