  • No, this exercise will not make your hands grow. 

  • That's fine. You are just opening the joint space, allowing blood to flow to areas restricted by tension. Popping is not a requirement, I do it to open the hands up and free tension from them.

  • Old wives tale. Energy does not flow through locked joints. Pulling on them opens the joint space to allow blood to flow in areas restricted by tension, arthritis, and swelling.

  • Can this help me with my piano? I've been playing for 9 years, nearly 10, and I've FINALLY managed to finally get my hands to reach 7 keys from 5.

  • Yes, any hand exercises will help you with fine motor skills. I can speak from experience in my field (chiropractic) that these exercise help me tremendously to be able to have the dexterity and strength to perform my job.

  • When you pull on the fingers, you are opening the joints. That allows for more blood flow, so if anything, it helps to prevent arthritis than cause it.
