I'm so happy to hear that you're getting better!

Yes, I help people who have hemifacial spasm too in my clinic. But, this exercise isn't the best for hemifacial spasm. You may have the tightness in your cheek muscle, specifically the Zygomaticus muscles, needed to be release. I suggest stretching the facial muscle instead of massaging it.

@@hariQacupuncture Thankyou 🙏🏻

I'm really sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. I wanted to share with you that this exercise will help improve your eye movement. You can start doing some facial roller exercises in addition to what you've been doing. czcams.com/video/Zj9hzDfCMlI/video.html I genuinely hope that you recover from it as soon as possible!

@@hariQacupuncture Thank you so much I bought a face massager that's been helping. Do you have any video on mouth exercises

@kias8212 Great! Keep using your facial massager! I don't have any video for mouth exercises yet, but I'll create some soon!

You're so welcome! I really hope you recover from trigger finger soon. Thank you for commenting!

Of course! I've seen people who were in the chronic stage of Bell's Palsy and still managed to recover some movement in their faces. Don't lose hope, keep it up!

I'm really happy to hear that the exercises helped relieve your frozen shoulder! I hope you keep getting better, and thanks for sharing your experience!

That's awesome! I'm so glad to hear that the exercises are bringing you immediate relief. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

You're so welcome! I'm really glad that you found my video helpful. I hope you start feeling better soon! Thanks a lot for your comment!

It's my pleasure! I'm really happy to hear that you're seeing improvement with your trigger finger. Keep it up! Thank you so much for your comment!

Hi, thank you for asking! I've got this rubber band from amazon! Here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07BJHLL61?psc=1&ref=product_details I hope these exercises help to recover your trigger finger!

Oh great! Many thanks!

You're very welcome! I often use these acupressure points along with the dermatome theory in my practice, and they've shown some great results. It's fascinating how the dermatome theory and acupuncture points, also known as Huato Jiaji points, overlap. I was amazed to learn that ancient doctors used these points to treat conditions like De Quervain Tenosynovitis. Thanks for your comment!

You're very welcome! I'm glad that it's useful! Thank you for your comments!

You're very welcome! I'm sorry to hear that the steroid injection didn't work for your trigger fingers. Try out these exercises and hopefully, you'll start feeling better soon. Thank you for commenting!

I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through the surgery twice. That must have been tough. I hope you never have to deal with trigger fingers again! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me, I really appreciate it!

Thank you for asking! If you're dealing with trigger finger on your thumb, focusing on that area during self-care therapy can really help. And don't forget to apply a heat pack afterwards - it can make a big difference in your recovery! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

@@hariQacupuncture Uh, thank you. I THINK you are saying that I do NOT have to do all the other fingers. I appreciate your answer but it was very vague so I'll try again. Do ALL fingers like in the video OR just the thumb? Thank you.

@usaman7358 I apologize for the confusion. Yes, you can only focus on your thumb.

@@hariQacupuncture Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I'm glad to hear that your dry eye has improved with this technique. I have another video about massaging around the eye that can also help alleviate your dry eye. czcams.com/video/s_bAsZMqJtE/video.html You can try it and see if it works for you. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you for your question. While this technique can be helpful in releasing some tension for rheumatoid arthritis-induced trigger finger, it's important to note that rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic arthritis and a very complicated disease that can be difficult to manage. So, I would recommend seeking advice from a specialist for more specific guidance. In some cases, avoiding foods that can induce inflammation, such as dairy products, nightshade vegetables, and sugar, might help alleviate joint inflammation. I hope you find these suggestions helpful and that you feel better soon!

Absolutely! You can definitely try this massage technique on both sides of your face. And if you're having trouble blinking or fully closing your eyes, you can start performing this technique right away! It's designed to help increase your eye movement, so you don't have to wait until your eyelid starts to move. I'm really rooting for you to improve quickly from Bell's Palsy, and I hope this massage can help in some way!

@@hariQacupuncture Thank you

I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with gout and trigger fingers. It can be really tough to manage those conditions, especially when you're also dealing with diabetes. I know it can be painful and frustrating. One thing to keep in mind is that certain foods can trigger gout flare-ups, so try to avoid alcohol, sugar, seafood, and red meat as much as possible. And don't forget to drink plenty of water and steer clear of sugary drinks! Of course, stretching and massage can also help, but if you're still struggling, it might be worth seeing a specialist like an acupuncturist. They can offer some personalized advice and treatment options that might make a big difference. I truly hope you're feeling better soon!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for your message! I'm glad the video was helpful to you in recovering from your trigger finger. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm really sorry to hear that you have to go through surgery. But don't worry, the end goal is to make your trigger finger better and prevent any pain in the future. I hope your post-operation recovery goes smoothly!

@@hariQacupuncture amen 🙂 thx u

Yes, you can also use a stainless steel spoon to break down scar tissue, but it can be too edgy and irritate the skin. The reason why I use an oriental soup spoon, which has a smoother edge and a similar shape to the graston tool. I hope this helps you in treating your trigger finger, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Is it ceramic or plastic please?

@johnwoodberry3707 It is made of ceramic, but you can also use a plastic one too!

You're very welcome! I hope your trigger finger gets better soon!

You're so welcome! I really hope this video helps with your trigger finger soon!

You can use a facial roller at least 2-3 times a day for best results. And, Yes, you can use it on your free time as well. Thank you for asking!

Thanks for asking about Bell's palsy. I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that. It's quite common to develop Bell's palsy symptoms after being exposed to a cold environment and catching a cold. But don't worry, there are some things you can do to help your recovery. To start treatment, you can take steroids and antiviral medications for a week to see if it helps. You can also use a facial roller to stimulate your facial nerve and promote regeneration. And don't forget to apply a heat pack to your neck and face to increase blood flow and relax your muscles. I truly hope these tips help you feel better soon!

¡De nada! Espero que este vídeo te sea útil. You're welcome! I hope this video is helpful!

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with trigger finger for a month. That must be really tough. I would definitely recommend that you see a specialist to get some professional help with your condition. In the meantime, you can also try stretching and massaging your fingers, hands, and forearms on top of this spoon technique. czcams.com/video/VM7ParKux-Q/video.html But, if you're still experiencing pain, just applying a heat pack can be really helpful. I truly hope you can recover from your trigger finger soon.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been dealing with these health issues for so long. That must be really tough. I would definitely recommend that you see a specialist to get some professional help with your condition. In the meantime, I'll be uploading a video soon on how to take care of frozen shoulder by yourself. Also, you can check out some of my other videos on how to massage and improve your carpal tunnel syndrome. czcams.com/video/wUd8W709WZI/video.html These exercises should help you manage your trigger fingers and carpal tunnel syndrome. I really hope you start feeling better soon!

@susacuyong2036 I've made a video demonstrating self-massage techniques for frozen shoulder. Check it out to see if it helps with your pain! Hope it brings relief! czcams.com/video/D7HS6AV6GzM/video.html

Thanks for asking! When it comes to inflammation, there are two types: acute and chronic. If you're dealing with acute inflammation, it's best to avoid using the scraping technique since it can make things worse. However, if you're dealing with trigger finger, chances are it's chronic inflammation. In that case, there are things you can do to help improve blood flow and soften the affected tissue, which can help promote healing. The spoon technique is quite similar to the Graston technique or Gua Sha in Traditional Oriental medicine. These two techniques use differently shaped tools - Graston uses stainless steel instruments, while Gua Sha uses jade, rose quartz, or metal. Both techniques aim to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments or break up stagnant energy or Qi in Chinese and promote the flow of blood and lymph by scraping the affected areas with these tools. The basic concept of both techniques is the same, and they both work towards achieving the same goal. You can also use a spoon to break down scar tissue and achieve similar results to releasing tension, reducing pain, and improving range of motion. I hope it helps!

@@hariQacupuncture thank you for your the explanation. I’m a professional guitarist and trigger fingers in my ring and pinky finger are causing me a lot of distress. I went to see an orthopedic specialist surgeon who recommends a conservative approach and suggested pressure massaging directly on the nodules to break them down but I find this too painful. So I’m going to try your technique which seems to go more along the sides of the nodules. I hope it works. Thanks again!

Thank you! I hope you find the video helpful!

You're most welcome! I'm really happy to hear that you're making progress with your trigger finger. Let's hope you won't need to go through surgery and that you'll feel better soon. Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment!

You're very welcome! I hope this video is helpful!

Thank you for asking! Yes, acupuncture helps with trigger fingers. Acupuncture treatments are a great way to reduce inflammation and swelling in your tendon and restore movement in your finger without causing any joint stiffness. Many studies have shown that acupuncture is a highly effective way to relieve pain and inflammation by triggering the release of natural painkillers.

Thank you..@@hariQacupuncture

You're very welcome! I hope you recover from your trigger finger soon! @dankool688

Thanks for asking! When it comes to inflammation, ice is great for acute injuries, but for chronic inflammation like trigger fingers, heat is the way to go! By applying heat, you can increase blood flow and soften the tissue which helps speed up the recovery process. While ice may give temporary relief by numbing the area, it can actually slow down the healing process. So, unless you're experiencing excruciating pain, I'd recommend using heat to help you feel better.

@@hariQacupuncture Understood. My pain is bothersome but tolerable as long as the finger doesn't trigger. Btw I didn't mention I'm wearing a splint. It prevents that sudden release that is quite painful and seems to further aggravate my condition. I take it off to do your exercises but wear it 24/7 otherwise. So far noticing incremental improvement every day. Regards.

You're very welcome! I hope it's helpful to you! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!

You're so very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that you're already feeling some benefits from the technique. I'm rooting for you to recover from your trigger finger soon and avoid surgery! Thank you so much for commenting!

Satoru - a question...as I noted earlier my problem is my middle finger. Should I treat this finger only, or do you advise treating all fingers regardless?

You can just focus on your middle finger but it's OK to do other fingers as well.

Thank you so much for this. My finger felt immediately better after the forearm exercise. I will continue to do all 5. I am hopeful. I am applying heat now. Do you ever recommend ice?

@christinemardakis9904 You're welcome! I usually don't suggest using ice for chronic conditions like trigger finger. It's better to apply a heat pack. I hope you feel better soon!
