How to strengthen ligaments and tendons in finger ? through naturally and also by taking any supplements will it help to strenghten the ligaments ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You cannot strengthen ligaments. If you are " loose jointed" it's usually inherited. You can strengthen the tendons about your hand( extensor and flexor) most easily by squeezing a ' grip' ball or a grip- strengthening device.
