Chapter One Common Hand Problems Arthritis of the Hand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Dupuytren's Contracture Ganglion Cysts Tendonitis of the Wrist Trigger Finger Chapter Two Hand and Finger Exercises Chapter Four Wrist Exercises The O's have it One of the simple, yet effective, exercises that I share with readers in the book is what I call, 'The O's Have It' exercise. In this exercise, you will bring your thumb and index finger together to form an 'O'. You will release it and bring your thumb and middle finger together to make an 'O'. Continue this exercise all the way down your fingers to your thumb and pinkie, then make the 'O' back up the fingers to where you started with the thumb and index finger. Open and stretch your hand and continue the exercise again. Do for at least three repetitions. Enjoy! Chapter Five Ball Massage Chapter Six Trim and Tone exercises using the ball Special Offer!!!
