I have seen several therapists for my hand issues, and was told at a very young age that I had the beginnings of carple tunnel. When I was working with an occupational therapist she noticed that on my weak days I could barely close my hands, and on a strong day I was very very strong, way stronger than her. She tested me with a device that you grip in your hand and it measures the pressure. I can't seem to remember the high numbers but I know the low was somewhere around 3lbs of pressure, I barely wiggled the device. When I was strong I got both sides almost completly together. I have played drums for over 20 years so I imagine my hands have taken a good bit of impact damage.
Is there some exercise that can help strengthen my hands without damaging them? On those weak days doing anything around the house is almost impossible, including pulling up my own pants and buttoning them. If you can make any recomendations how to strengthen them or how to deal with the weak days, it is appriciated!
