I'd like to throw my 2 cents in on some helps- I took a few yoga sessions at a music workshop this summer, and all I can say is WOW! for how it made my whole body feel, including hands, wrists, and most importantly my breath.

We did a few things for the hands and fingers: Try standing comfortably and balanced. Slowly raise your arms straight above your head, and let your shoulder blades sink toward the floor. Breathe deeply and evenly. Hold your arms up until your fingers and hands tingle, as long as you can. Slowly lower your outstretched arms to your sides. Rotate each finger clockwise and counterclockwise as long as you like; this feels so good! You can rotate your wrists the same way.

I'm sure there are many other similar things you could do, but I remember these as really helping me.
