Hand and Grip Exercise Videos

Improving your grip and hand strength can help with everyday tasks and reduce the risk of dropping or losing hold of things.

Maintaining strength and flexibility in your hands and fingers is an important part of staying active and independent. Whether it’s turning taps, using cutlery or holding a walking aid, good hand control makes daily life easier and safer.

This page features easy-to-follow videos with simple exercises you can do at home to help improve grip strength, finger flexibility and coordination.

If you have arthritis or another condition that affects your hands, speak to your GP or physiotherapist before starting a new exercise routine.

Tips for Getting Started

• Do these exercises seated in a comfortable, upright position
• Take it slow - work within your limits and rest if needed
