Love this. 1 month in at an orthopedic/hand therapy clinic as a new grad! Thank you!!!!

Fantastic video. Describes my clicking thumb exactly. I will try your exercises. Thank you.

Welp😅 broken arm cant do this😢

Hello, I am Billy and I come from Belgium. I have a question for you, I have had a trigger thumb for a few weeks and last week I got a cortisone injection from the family doctor, the pain is almost completely gone but the tip of my thumb usually still jumps even though I wear a brace almost day and night! I started doing the exercises you gave me last week. Can you tell me approximately how many weeks or months I should do them and whether I would cure my trigger thumb with this? Kind regards Billy😶

Best helpful info on trigger thumb! THANK YOU!!!

Thankyou for this vedio its very usefull for me to understand..

i wish you all the best

I had surgery 3 months ago and I've had OT for 2 months I cannot supinate very well and my OT says he hasn't seen a case this complicated. The surgery went excellently. The hammer is very difficult for me because I have such small hands I use a weight lifters glove to stop the pain of the hammer pressing against the pad of my index finger and the thumb. It feels like it could cause a wound it hurts so much against the bone. I barely can have it go 5° and it's hard to keep a tight fist because my pinky and ring finger want to let go because my hand is so small please help me do I have time for it to get better

Thank you very Much, this video helped me a lot, I am having this problem in al four fingers in both hands..😳😳😳, I am scheduling an appointment on Monday, the exercises helped a lot!

I’m so glad I came across your videos as they have been really helpful. I hadn’t realised just how debilitating trigger thumb can be but am hoping your stretches and therapies will help. Thank you PS I did smile though when you said give this video a thumbs up… as that’s a bit difficult with a trigger thumb! 😅

What are your thoughts on "massaging" the TFCC area to free up adhesions and restore some pain free ROM? Who does it tend to work for, if at all, in your experience?

How do wrist widgets compare to wrist wraps that weightlifters use? (wrapped tightly to compress the whole wrist complex)

Hi I had a left radius fracture on September 10th. Your towel exercise is very helpful, could please suggest for stiff knuckles, and to make a fist rather than going through painful pushing at the physiotherapy . your plant is freash and rejuvenating.Thanks

This taping method does offer some relief although my thumb is now kinda locked in one position. I can bend it forward but not back (unless I gently force it). It started out popping and locking forward but now I fear the tendon is stiff to the point of no return to normal use. Will this ever heal? I definitely think it's RSI related. Splinting and taping does offer relief though, esp at night and whilst working and your video was helpful. Thanks

Great Advice video. Much of same information my doctor told me. Thank You

I can't bend my fingers in winter but there is not really skin to peel Last years weird looking wounds started to from on some areas I am kinda scared for this winters

I'm in the phase now where I can't do dumbbell lateral raises or cable lateral raises. As a work around, I found is there's a lateral raise machine where you put the pad under your elbow so you have a bent elbow and that has worked really great for lateral raises. Also I can't do upright rows but they don't necessarily feel the greatest anyway. Lightweight reverse wrist curls have seemed to help rehabilitate the issue. I used to not be able to do dumbbell rows but now I can go heavy on that. So there is hope, it does get better over time.

it is awful how surgeons don't advise on scar treatment and just leave you alone to find out what the rest of the world seem to already know.

May I contact you per mail, I stopped my career to play the piano and now I am fallen on the wrist in August and I have a suspected TFCC problem but I really want to avoid an op, I am completely desesperated...

Any tip for slightly curved long finger and pointer finger ?

Thank you. This will work I think.

I have had this problem for about 18yrs or more.. yet have only just learnt it has a name. Trying to learn how to wrap it, will definitely try this. Thank you

Can you link to the previous video?

What's the approach when there also appears to be some kind of bursitis in the same flared up wrist area? Is it treated by an MD or physio?

Awesome video, wish you worked in NY!

You are very calming and beautiful. Thank you for the video, I will follow it.

Never had any thumb pain in my life. Then I got a really bad strep throat infection that moved to my ear. Many of my muscles and joints hurt but as it cleared up, it was only my index fingers and thumbs that started to hurt and click. It's been over three months now, fingers are fine but both thumbs have multiple clicks and are getting worse daily. My thumbs click on passive motion too. I've been wearing oval 8 splints but it seems to make them even worse with the stiffness. I guess I'll try the stretching. Thanks for the video.

are there any massages you can do on the surrounding area? It still feels very stiff and i’ve been wanting to loosen it up😢

thanks, I'm going to follow your advice

can I do this while having external fixation on mid of my humerus doctor says ok to phisical therapy it's been 6 months since surgery

Thank you for sharing this, I have just applied to myself and it has provided some pain relief instantly 🙏

Thank you so much!❤

I sprained my thumb and this is really helping thank you.

Why not wear it overnight? My NP suggested that I DO wear a splint during the night for my triggering thumb.

Love your background! 😊

Very helpful! My little finger was injured about four years ago. It will not straighten. These exercises feel like they are helping after just one day.

I sometimes get like 1 finger little swollen qnd little tingling after being outside in cold😊

Got any thing on CHBT testing

wonderful, I was looking for it! thanks a lot!

OMG NO WAY!! You just said the elbow. Wow I can’t even believe I just heard this. I was in a MVA and I have horrible severe chronic pain literally daily all day long and supposedly I tore my TFCC. But I heart from just above the elbow all the way down to the tips of my fingers. So both elbows, both arms, both hands top/bottom and both sides, thumbs, all eight fingers, both wrists and all 10 doctors told me that it can’t be from the TFCC. My life is ruined and destroyed from this accident. I cannot get the help I need. It’s absolutely disgusting. You’re amazing thank you so much for this video ❤

I have worn one on my trigger thumb for several weeks. It helps but I have questions. Should it be worn all the time? When should one stop wearing it ? Is it a permanent thing? I worry that wearing it too long will stiffen my thumb permanently causing another problem.

😊

I am a plumber and I think I did this to my wrist yesterday twisting a cap.

A very usefull video if you have tennis elbow, thank you so much !!! Actually I do most of it already, but inspite, you gave me some valuable hints.

Pain from texting in thumb joint just above wrist thumb it’s swollen too what to do

This is the video I was searching for too- I too have watched several and this is right up there with the best.

Great tutorial. Thank you!

Thank you, your instructions on how to do the exercises are really clear and helpful. I've been cycling most of my life and I think my trigger thumb has been caused by clicking through the gear changes. I'm a Podiatry student and so need to get this condition sorted for using the clippers and making orthotics! Hopefully your advice will help.

I have on my right thumb

i was doing wood chops for months and thought since I don't feel pain then w/e and now I know why my tennis elbow got worse. I avoided lat raise, reverse curl and upright row
