Akiyo (which looks kinda funny without her emotionless warrior face on) demonstrating finger care in the context of 20 years of top-end climbing without finger injury (  :o ). But I'd like to know the reasoning behind the various techniques used....  is it flexibility? Reducing scarring? Increased blood flow? Preventing inflammation?

Be interested If there were a proper science answer - but for me n=1 etc - it helps ease up achy fingers.

I use one of those £2 eBay fork shape jobbies.

When discussing massage guns didn’t Duncan? say there was no evidence to say massage did anything other than a short term nice feeling.

When I have not played the piano in a while I have to do what Noguchi prescribe in the video, otherwise the fingers are not bendy enough for wide chords. Otherwise I don't bother.
