I am a Mechanical Engineer trying to come up with robot hand designs, and this finally got me to understand the perplexing nature of thumb movement. No wonder everyone in ME gets the thumb wrong 😢 Thanks. Amazing Video

[@preciousprecieuse7663]

You simply have mad skills I love what you do. Sometimes when I look for some "out of the box" tricks for my clients, I always choose your channel to give some ideas. I just love your style

[@balintbiro7830]

This is the best conventional visualization I've ever seen. 3D CAD gives some depth too, but it lacks the natural look of parallely seeing a real hand. Congratulations!

[@lauradonategimeno3053]

I don't have words. This is so awesome, I do love the way you teach. I just can be grateful for your videos and wait for more to come to xx

[@selenegold7041]

That was just beautiful! Lots of information packed into that video. So helpful how you incorporate all learning styles. Your channel is the one I keep coming back to for massage inspiration.

[@sarahschwende]

You do such a great job of making complicated anatomy approachable for therapists looking to learn. This really helped me today when I was feeling overwhelmed about the placement and purpose of all of those tiny little muscles! Thanks Rebel Massage!!!

[@helenelundchirwa8011]

Absolutely awesome. This is art. Thank you for your generosity of teaching. Beautiful video.

[@debrabutton8116]

I love the way you teach. You should be an A&P instructor!!!!! Love the videos, keep doing them!

[@videohq1181]

Top quality, and I make videos for a living. I came to see how a thumb flexor tendon may get damaged, and got a full lesson in anatomy. Thank you

[@kevinleblanc1121]

Amazing detail and instruction. Thank you very much.

[@massagewithmike]

Great video, love the paint 🎨

[@carriesteele5730]

That was soooo awesome, loved every bit of it and was very impressed and excited to see that explained in such a cool way! Thank you!!! Wish you had addressed my thumb problem, which is why I watched the video, but atleast I have a name now to my movement problem and can now research it. The hank you so much❤

[@CrazyChileanCanuck]

Recently had a metal plate installed in my forearm and have been having trouble lifting my thumb up. This video was very insightful.

[@clairewyness5261]

Great explanation and visuals

[@abhimanyusharma8139]

Thankyou so much, your video helped me identify my problem or issue in not being able to right fast. I was looking for a solution for so long now i know that strengthening the muscles around will improve it and it has done so in a little bit of time. Please suggest any more excercises. Love your work.

[@bsmith091286]

I love your channel and I’m using it as I go through massage therapy school. I really wanted to ask you your opinion on a anatomy learning aspect. When trying to memorize and learn all the anatomy from muscles to bones to ligaments etc., do you recommend learning the whole body and all the muscles first and then when she learned those moving onto the whole body and finding the attachment sites and then moving on to the whole body for tendons and ligaments ect? Or do you think it would be better to memorize for example the glutes and all the muscles and all the attachment sites/phone/tenants etc. and then move onto another muscle group etc.… I’m just having trouble with learning it before the instructor starts asking about other aspects of the body that I haven’t even gotten a chance to look at or study because I’m still trying to memorize and green in my head another part of the body first before I move on and lose all that I train my brain to memorize. Any feedback is welcome… And again thank you so much for all that you do an upload on KZbin🙌

[@TheCraig031272]

I'm watching this after crashing my mountain bike & injuring my thumb. I think the x rays at the hospital 1 week ago didn't show the damage I've really done. i wish I could show you!

[@jimmys511]

I have a problem with my opposition motion. I can not touch my pinkie with my thumb is this something that can be fixed with therapy to rebuild the muscles of the abductor pollicis ?

[@suddenlyhope]

If I severed the muscle that gives me the ability to do the thumbs up 👍 will it grow back together? Urgent care stitches me together but I can’t get the top of my thumb to go up. It just doesn’t respond at all. I am 13 days post injury.

[@genome692002]

so how does the thumb bend down.. you show no muscles there?

[@cliffburton5696]

What thenar muscle is most superficial?

Does it do Kermit the Frog?

[@ncmichael938]

I believe that you are a professional at what you do but your descriptions is a little too deep for the regular person to understand.
