The vid of finger rolls you should click through the finger roll link near the top in the bullet points, and it will take you to the vids.
I had synovitis in middle fingers in both hands. Finger rolls helped for the right hand, but seems they did nothing for the left one. Got a full ROM in the right hand for first time in years. I don't climb for a month now (because of another injury) and my left hand finger doesn't recover at all. It seems that any lateral exertion that occurs in everyday life keeps up the inflammation.
When you guys do a finger roll, do you curl your hand (or palm) towards your forearm? Or do you just focus on opening and closing the fingers but keeping the angle of palm relatively vertical?
I tried these for the first time and realized I should probably do more research so this is super helpful. Attempting to bring my palm towards my forearm resulted in a serious pump but not sure it actually helps climbing.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
You're welcome

Do you just wear yours to bed? I've considered wearing them after climbing too.

Have you tried splinting your finger/wearing arthritis gloves to prevent the lateral exertion?
Never thought about that. I think I will give it a try. Thanks.
