Hand Rapid Open/Close

I find opening and closing the hands to be an instinctive response when Raynaud’s episodes start; however, this is often performed ineffectively. Be sure to open and close your hands intentionally and intensely, which can help return circulation to your fingers.

Step 1: Squeeze both of your hands together as tightly as you can for one second.
Step 2: Open your hands as fully and forcefully as possible and hold for one second.

Closing and opening your hands counts as one repetition. Perform 20 repetitions per set and a total of three sets.
