The hand therapy balls helped me realize just how much I had been abusing my hands. At first, even the softest ball was difficult to use. As I kept practicing, I realized that the ulnar pain was lessening and the pinched nerves in my neck weren't getting fired up as much. The headaches the pinched nerves cause are not nearly as severe as they can get, either. May actually be an alternative to surgery according to my physiatrist as long as I keep showing measurable improvement.
I'm in the second year of my career as a graphic designer, sitting at my desk clicking my mouse all day, and I was experiencing some pretty bad stiffness and pain in my index finger on my mouse hand. After a week of using this hand therapy kit a few times a day, it's helped ease a lot of tension in my hand. I wish these came with a carrying case, bag, or sleeve, so I could easily take them home from the office.
