I fell backwards and support my body from left hand by palm opened. So my left thumb got sprained maybe by getting stretched opened outwards during that fall. It's been 8 weeks it's paining and now causing thumb trigger at front joint but pain is also at bottom base joint of the thumb if i press with finger . I can't open tight bottles or jars with left hand and thumb starts to pain and also drop things due to less support from that thumb. Will this help it get well the taping technique.

[@catherinetan978]

Very helpful! Thanks so much! Another trick for remembering this taping method. Start at the center, right under your palm. Make two loops outwards, once around the thumb, then around the wrist.

[@se5594]

Do you mean encircling the wrist? I need to take my CMC joint

[@klerain5774]

This video is so helpful. I dislocated my thumb and it just wasnt healing properly. I stil have to do some everyday chores & Im getting so sick of feeling like an invalid. This method feels so supportive I think Im going to finally heal

I have a doubt, I sprained the thumb of my right hand in soccer training (I was an archer) and it made sense, I mean when I hit it against something very strong it hurts, so I wanted to know if this bandage would serve me in volleyball so that it does not hurt so much when hitting the ball.

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi ARMY_SQUAD this is a common taping technique used to support your thumb and is commonly used in all ball sports including volleyball

Cool taping technique. Quick question. Can this type of wrapping technique support the front of the wrist as well? I feel some pain in the front of my left wrist when I press my fingers on a flat surface while lifting up my wrist off of the surface. Don't really know how to treat it at the moment.

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi Jerry you may want to check if you have aggravated your TFCC. This is a simple test kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIC0fmaHh5mZhLM

[@jefferydilmont8079]

Is this ok for a ruptured UCL? To play rugby on

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Thanks for the comment Dat1boi really it depends on the stability of your thumb, time after injury, how well it has scarred and the only way to determine this is through assessing it. I would recommend you seeing your local health professional so they can have a look at it.

[@brgvenomyt1161]

That tape name pls

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

This is 25mm Elastic Adhesive Bandage I also use ridged to reinforce as that is my personal preference

[@JuzzyHands]

Hello, I was just wondering what kind of tape we should use. Like should we use that tape or any type?

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Thanks Zackie I prefer using 25mm elastic adhesive bandage and reinforce it with rigid. You can use rigid throughout but your thumb mobility will be hindered So really it’s a bit of give and take

[@Vital_form]

What tape is this and where can I buy it? (Also in Australia)

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi the tape I use is from IDM called Maxiplast. You can also use all of the larger tape providers as they will have they own version. The main type I used in this video is the 25mm Elastic Adhesive Bandage. I then provide additional support using 12.5 mm rigid tape - I personally rip 38mm rigid into strips as I don't always have access to the smaller version in the clinic Hope this helps

[@breandanroche4329]

To help keep circulation and not have the tape too tight, you should cut the tape each time you have finished a rotation... I believe you are taping too much at once and thus cutting off circulation...

[@GTchum]

Only if you make it too tight

[@MoIttMedia1]

can i use an inelastic tape for metacarpo-phalangeal joint sprain of the thumb?

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

@@MoIttMedia1 you can but it does not conform to the skin as easily and you are often left with ridges

[@talemwamukasa9414]

My thumb hurts everytime I rotate it and I don't know when it started but it could have something to do with me playing basketball and shooting a lot so I guess my question is can you use this tape when shooting around and playing basketball and will it help stop the pain?

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi Talemwa if the tape helps the pain or not is a trial thing. Realistically you want to know what the underlying injury is so that you can determine if you are doing further damage or not. Therefore you do really need to see your local health professional to get a diagnosis and plan. This taping technique may be part of that treatment plan but will not be the sole treatment for it

[@talemwamukasa9414]

Where I found this tape please

Hi isela most local areas should have a sports tape provider, unfortunately it is unlikely to get this tape at the chemist. If you don’t have a local provider I’m sure you could order online at one of the larger providers like leko or elastoplast

[@lindakutch1337]

Is this taping good for trigger thumb

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi @linda kutch if it is a true trigger thumb it would be best to use a splint as you normally have to splint these for extended periods and having tape on your skin would not be good. I would advise you to see your local health professional as they can diagnose it and set the best course of treatment

[@kurogyu97]

will this work with a bandage?

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Hi @Jordyn H unfortunately a bandage is unlikely to provide the same level of support

Sorry but isn`t it too tight? I didn`t tape yet, i want to do this but it looks too tight. So, I`m not sure. Someone who did, is it ok? Did your thumb become blue?

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

The person performing the taping technique really guides how tight this is. If you are concerned you should check your capillary refill and then you always have the option of re-taping your thumb. Hope this helps

[@ayzerekhamit]

@@BodyFitPhysiotherapy oh, ok, thank you

[@katoes4445]

is it ok to keep wrapping the wrist since 9im an offensive lineman

[@BodyFitPhysiotherapy]

Personal I would use the 9mm for the thumb then use 50mm EAB for the wrist and reinforce with rigid tape This would be more cost effective and supportive

Hi janet no they should not charge colour. This means you are likely taping it too tight. A trick is to pull more tape off the roll so you can lay it down with less tension. I hope that helps

Can I use a bandage instead
