hi! i had a massive stroke when i was 10 and my right side went weak. i couldn’t feel anything, i couldn’t move my right side, i had to use a wheelchair for 2 years. i’m 15 now and my right side is still a little weak. but these are really helping me, thank you so much 😊

[@gg-17djsj]

keep working hard you will gain mobility back never give up!

[@eduardoayala3204]

Wow Alia, it pains me to hear that. I actually went through something similar, but far less serious. Reactive arthritis on my right side, 3 months of drugs and rest and I was "ready to go", but just now I'm dealing with the actual damage that I wasn't aware of. I hope you're doing much better!

Yo Bob and Brad, this is unrelated but about a week ago I developed Sciatica. It was horrendous, a bunch of nights with no sleep while feeling like my leg was on fire. I honestly thought I was going to die, the whole thing was brutal. Your videos changed everything and a week later I'm greatly improved, I can walk around and do chores with very little pain, only if I'm standing for like 5+ minutes. While that may sound like a bad thing for some, as someone that went through Sciatica, I can tell you that this is 100 times better situation. I'm able to sleep well at night too. I just want to say thanks, your videos are truly amazing and it's great to see people so dedicated to helping others and dispensing knowledge.

[@sylviannedelaney2984]

I love you guys. Always fun & educational. Thank you xo

[@TheFelinmalin]

great video! Thank you so much !

[@heatherkirby1677]

You guys are awesome! Thank you!! I have seen several of your videos.

[@sweetolyve]

Great information. I broke my ulna and radius bones at the wrist just over four weeks ago and had surgery in which the surgeon placed a plate and six screws. Still waiting on insurance to get my PT appointments squared away, so I looked at what you two have here on KZbin. I don't want to have problems for years because I haven't had a good treatment plan. Thanks so much!

[@julie804]

Really like the hand and wrist exercises and massage overall. Have been doing exercises sometimes lately that specifically benefit the brain.

Please, do a video about overstretching (as in stretching beyond what you should stretch). I had a really strong stretching pain on my hamstrings even days after training.

[@DC7BQC]

Would you recommend these exercises for someone with CMT, which I have. I play the guitar and was looking for something that would aid or help strengthen my fingers but not sure if these exercises are good for someone like me.....or would you recommend something else..

[@meitrev]

Hello i just had surgery on my hand. Had 4 pins in total. Now i need to work on gaining motion back. Thank you for the videos. It is difficult to do these exercises. But will work on it

[@dnangel4277]

How are your fingers now?

[@pankajudhaskatigar1694]

Hi Bob and Brad, I am suffering from Radial Nerve Palsy.. fingers drop and not able to rotate my hand since 1 month. Could you please tell me the exercises and stretches for this problem?? Waiting for your valuable response

[@mkmtm]

Would you do a video regarding Rehabilitation of a Thumb Flexor Tendon laceration surgery. Cannot find flexor tendon repairs of thumb Zone 2 or T2 surgery and rehab. Week by week protocols would be appreciated. Please note Thumb is different than finger therapy. Only found one from a patient who ended up having too much scar tissue. Note: Glass products may pop or break while doing dishes and take months to recover.

[@shawnharvey3405]

I had a trapeziectomy 8 weeks ago. I've found that the Web of my thumb is nearly gone which limits the range of motion. ....what should I do? I was told this would be a long recovery. ....I did have ligament reconstruction

Do you have specific advice for mallet finger?

Have you had any luck with treating Alien Hand Syndrome? My sisters stroke happened 3 years ago and her hand is still doing uncontrolled reaching and holding on to things. Is there any hope?

[@sidneyarmstrong9850]

A few years back, my mom broke her elbow in a fall. The doctors casted her and sent her on her way. I didn't ask about therapy, and I regret that so much because now her hand is folded and her fingers are stiff to the point of being fused. I finally was able to get a therapy appointment for her to hopefully reverse some of this get her some hand use. In the mean time, what if anything can I do to help her?? I am angry at myself for not pushing for therapy when this all happened. So word to the wise, if your elderly parent falls and breaks something ask about and push for PT for recovery. I wish I knew then what I know now.

[@mmunlimited8739]

If I can't use strengthening pieces bc of basal joint replacements, any suggestions?

Is this good for non surgery, wrist fracture?

how do you get the tone out of your hand

[@petebutler5139]

Hey guys, loving the channel. I had the dreaded tablesaw accident involving my left middle and ring fingers. The injury looks horrible but following surgery, it looks like I get to keep everything. I can only bend my fingers at the knuckle where they attach to the hand. I cannot afford physical therapy but I need to start exercising and bending my fingers and breaking through the scar tissue. What exercises do you recommend or if you’ve made a video about this, please share the link.

[@manuel512g]

I hope you're recovering to the fullest and get all movements back

[@josie7758]

Hi. I recently broke my little finger proximal phalanges bone and cracked base at MCP joint. 8 weeks on and I still can't bend the MCP joint to anywhere near full range and the PIP joint is bent and won't straighten. The effects of both are that I can't grip. The surgeon and hand therapist say it's tendon adhesion and have me working the two joint really, I mean REALLY hard, and a few times during the day. This makes the joints very inflamed. This seems counter productive to me. But they keep telling me to push it. But there's no improvement. Should I be pushing so hard? Am I better exercising gently and letting it heal more inside before I push it? What are the best exercises to do for tendon adhesion? Thanks

[@BobandBrad]

Personally I would try cross fiber friction massage over the tendons. I think we did it in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnOremxui7F8pa8 Take care. Bob

how is your range of motion now?

Is there exercise for fingers to tape on keyboard

[@amberhagy8965]

This is definitely not stuff someone after stroke can do. I still can’t open my hand by myself and I’m s year and a half past my stroke so some of this I do passively just to help keep my range of motion.

[@siro8472]

i had a dip dislocation 6 weeks ago and cant fully bend the dip of my right middle finger to a fist as of now. do you know more now and got range of motion back on the dip? the pip joints all bend good for me and the mcp joints as well. just the dip joint at my right middle finger where i had the dislocation doesnt bend completely for a fist.

[@alexlg9521]

Rob Morris I have the same thing, same hand even! It goes up my thumb and into my wrist. I slept funny for a couple of sleeps and didn't really move my hand all that much. Next day when I went to use it like usual I got serious pain. I believe I pulled a muscle or two. I am currently working on range of motion and flexibility.

[@iguananed]

I used to have full range of motion in my wrist, now if I stand in front of a wall with my hands on the wall and my arms straight out. I cannot physically make a 90 degree angle with my left hand and arm. I went to three different physio therapist , wasted my time. :(

[@Joegengstah]

@@iguananed sounds like you need to do wrist mobilization followed by flexor stretching and then extensor strengthening to gradually increase "range of control" to be able to bring your wrist back. Did you do this in PT? If not you need to try another PT or even better- go to a manual therapist. He will be able to quickly check if your wrist joints are fixated, and if not continue with teaching you the mobilization drill that you must do every day. Your symptoms with push ups and not being able to bring your hand back into extension are really common, there is no way a good therapist won't have success with you. Good luck
