My advice would be to seek professional advice concerning this. I'm not a doctor, and wouldn't want to give you wrong advice that would do you damage. However, the exercises hear were given to me to do by a physio, so they will be fine! Hiya, Guy.

Well, I am no Doctor. Sometimes I hear it's bad, and sometimes I hear it's good? I've been clicking mine from an early age, and so far I'm ok. But...that doesn't mean it's ok. My advice would be to seek professional advice about this. Tell me how it goes! Hiya, Jude!

I have yet to experience any numbing(that I can feel....uh oh...) in my hands but I am grateful to have run across your site and exercises. The stretching regimen will become part of my daily practice ritual starting tomorrow! Thanks!

Ok, I have heard that as well. But recently, I read that it's not true. Also, I have been clicking my knuckles and fingers for years, and have seen nothing yet. However, I'm not a doctor, Ken. I have absolutely no right, nor qualification to advise you on this. Everything I know about it comes through my personal experience. If you DO ask a doctor about it, please come back here and tell me what they say! All the best :) Hello, Ken!

Thanks a lot for these amazing little stretching ideas. I have JUST recently began feeling the pain in my hands and wrists from playing video games, texting on my phone, and of course playing bass/guitar (and I am only 22 years old). I plan to do these before and after everything I do from here on out and I hope they make a difference. Thanks again! I know I am a little late to this party, but wow.
