FREE OFFER: A chart and explanation for the oft' avoided warm-up hand exercises upon request.
Taught to me by an amazing physical therapist I met in the mid-1990's who was kind enough to enlighten our workshop audience members with this technique. I have done these short -- but effective -- exercises religiously ever since. This short routine is helpful for relieving pain, but most effective as music related injury prevention!!
