BEST 5 Thumb Exercises for THUMB STIFFNESS

[@6189-d4w]

Michele, these thumb exercieses are just what I needed after recently getting off my cast and brace from a broken wrist bone! My thumb was unable to reach two of my outer fingers or across my palm, and now after doing your exercises I am much looser! Your teaching approach is so compassionate and well informed, you are a blessing to us all! Thanks for the years of study you did to be able to help us, and for all the hours you worked on your videos!

[@VirtualHandCare]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad the exercises helped your thumb. 👍👍

Michelle is WONDERFUL! I’ve gotten so many great demonstrations and help from her after my cast came off my broken wrist. All her videos have been a godsend.

Wow these are so amazing, I have real bad cmc pain from typing on a smart phone and writing down notes with a pen and paper for college, I have really bad stiffness and this 10 minute video instantly relieved it, thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@carolbiehler9670]

I had CMC surgery with mini tightrope procedure on my right thumb 5 weeks ago. I am so grateful that I found your thumb exercise video. I have an appointment for thumb therapy on Wednesday. I will do the exercise that you showed in your video to get my flexabilty and strength back in my thumb.

How is ur thum after surgery now?

[@kottaiveedueswarlalsabitha4412]

Thank you so much mam

[@debthompson9335]

Hi Michele, I broke my wrist 2 years ago and after my cast came off, they discovered that the tendon from my wrist to my thumb had detached. I had surgery that took a tendon from my index finger and repaired the one in my thumb. I did therapy after the surgery and regained some range of motion, however, I am unable to move my thumb back towards my wrist very far as the knuckle joint closest to the wrist does not bend back. I discovered your videos a few days ago and your exercises have already helped me gain more strength and range of motion in my thumb and entire hand. Thank you.

[@sarladevi9719]

Hi, i really want to thank you so much for these videos. I am 56 ears old, a guitar player from the age of 10. Iver the;as while I have been distressed by pain in my left hand, this has been preventing me practicing or playing. Playing music is been an essential part of my life since I began. Using your exercises has turned the corner and given me new hope to be able to enjoy playing again. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do.

[@VirtualHandCare]

You are so welcome! Got to get you back on that guitar 🎸

[@pikapika2571]

Hi Michelle thank you for teaching this exercise it really works. My right thumb joint hurt so bad for a month now as I did a lot of paint by numbers for 3 months of lockdown here in NSW due to repetitive motion holding small paint brushes for too long. I can’t use my right thumb even just pressing a remote control of tv. My thumb is getting better now. I’m doing this exercise daily and I love your comforting voice too. Thanks so much

Thanks Michelle for these exercises. I just had my hard cast removed yesterday after having CMC Arthroplasty a 30 days ago!

Thanks Michelle. I had surgery with pins in pinky finger. After the pins & cast removed, it’s affected my entire hand. My pinky is still swollen. I think the cast was too tight. I appreciate you charing your expertise. I’m wearing a simple wrist thumb support during the day. It’s helping my wrist & thumb. I’m following all your exercises. Thanks for your help!

I broke my wrist on July 2023 and after a 2 wks of therapy and a CT scan I was told to stop therapy n use brace. I just had my second surgery on which all hardware (8 screws n plate) were removed. Thank God! I'm now scheduled for therapy next wk, but I'm lucky to have come across your videos. I've been working my fingers since first surgery. I know I have a long way to go because my fingers are still stiff, but I'm getting close to making a fist. It's very hard getting my thumb across because my tendons are still tight, n my palm very tender. Greatly apprec your videos!
