Baoding Balls [Exercise Stress Balls]

I bought a couple sets of these. I have some hand neuropathy that impacts my flute playing. My right thumb, index and middle finger have had a tendency to fall asleep, go numb when I play some of my Native Flutes. I figured I would try these initially to improve dexterity and finger speed but they have become indispensable for my short walks and hikes. When I carry them and roll them around in my hands as I go, I find that when I get back home for a flute session, I can play for a long time and no numbness occurs. I've been using them for several months now and I can't remember the last time I've had a problem. There are a lot of YouTube videos available for exercises to do with them too. Ok, so they have also helped with dexterity, no doubt. Some of the embellishments that are a bit trickier to perform on the Native flute have gotten easier too! I think it's going to be a good habit to stick with them for as long as I play.
