Thanks for the suggestion, Belkis. How long does the hand usually stay open after using this technique? It sounds like it’s sort of a passive stretch – is that correct? I’m obviously not a PT but am just trying to envision what you describe. 🙂

Upon slow release, the hand opens up, and then I encourage weight bearing. Has anyone tried this?
