I put my hands together finger tip to finger tip and do "finger push ups!". When I'm at Mass, I always do this before the sign of peace so my hands don't make me wince.
It's not a permenant solution but it sure loosens up my fingers for a few minutes.
OH!
Also, sometimes I will pull each finger back as far as I can and hold it for a minute or so----------and grit my teeth when I get to the middle finger and ring finger on my right hand.
finger push ups = imagine a spider doing push ups on a mirror.
