Hi GCOE I am so glad you replied. I have looked at the links and the mirror box idea certainly sits well with me.
I have started doing my own set of exercises using both hands which certainly changes the balance of thought! I am going to get my hubby to create box asap.
Basically I am doing amix of movements including stretching as far as the hand will allow. I am not forcing anything but gently encouraging more range.
thanks so much i am going to look for a physio who majors in hands specifically. Thanks a million floracat..........
