Trigger finger exercises

Wheels of Happiness

The symptoms of trigger finger are:  locked fingers, (cant extend) or extended and cant bend.   It occurs because of over use of finger in braking on bikes, or climbing, or too much computer work.

One such colleague complained of such condition and said she could not bike for a month and may possibly undergo surgery.

This post experienced such, researched YT and followed the exercises recommended.  I do not have trigger finger anymore.

Must exercises for senior

Wheels of Happiness

I have seen my brother in law, only 3 years older than me, having difficulty and even emergencies at times because of leg and thigh weaknesses.   So it must be caused by lack of exercises.

So it is best to have must exercises:

1.  Sit ups

2.  Lunges, 

3.  Push ups
