I have gotten into a habit of always bending individual fingers back carefully. I do it while watching movies, reading news, sitting visiting, whatever. It has become subconscious behaviour for me, like people who chew their nails or twirl their hair. I have fewer sore fingers than I used to have, though this might simply be that I have been climbing longer and just have stronger fingers.
