Thanks Michelle recently broke my thumb while working in the trades. Got my cast off today and did these exercises with you and I can already see some progress. You are a saint!
As always Mitchelle you are the best. Sharing your expertise to alleviate the pain and suffering of other humans makes you a special person and I am glad I found you!! I did all the exerises and mam u rock!! 💐
I love the one with the ace tape an stee one with the puffy,I thought my thumb would hurt really bad after these but it didn’t and I was able to get through it all I am so happy for this video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the information .I had surgery about a month ago I’ve been going through this Thumb problem for two months at a very very tight thumb and with your exercises I’ve seen on your webpage is really helping I appreciate thank you.
Great exercises, along with those from your other videos. 12 weeks post thumb UCL surgery and these are really helpful as part of my rehab routine. Thank you 👍
I have partial tear 9f my thumb ucl.. couldn't get into hand doc for 3 months.. so just now getting a exos splint to immobilize. Curious if you ever got back to baseline ? Hoping so! I was told healing could be 12 weeks to 6 months.. my dominant hand.. if you could share, that would be so much appreciated!! Thanks in advance😊
Thank you Michelle, I sprained my thumb carrying too much shopping. Your exercises have started to loosen my thumb and this has given me my grip strength back when weight training in gym. 🤩
These are amazing to be honest. I had my thumb injured.. i had 7 stitches and my finger was straight up i couldnt even move it a lot. While i did these excercises my finger felt so much better and i didnt feel any pain like i used to.
Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for posting this video. I recently fractured my proximal phalanx bone at the IP joint. I had to get surgery and then spent a month in a cast. My joint is very stiff. And I still have pins in my thumb that I have to get removed once the bone is a little bit more healed. Thank you for these exercises which I will be following to help improve the stiffness in my thumb.
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately my thumb was broken in two places. Right at the end joint and also right across where you're holding your left fingers to stabilize the bend 😢
Yes it has really helped my thumb feels nice and relaxed and a loose now I didn't know you're supposed to have more web spacing between the thumb and the index that's nice to know also the pinching strengthening
These are wonderful! I really like the one with the thumb stretched across the palm for 10 minutes. I think that will really help stretch and loosen up my thumb. I also really liked the one where you hold the thumb and flex it as it moves in different planes. I will be adding these to my daily! I am curious do you have anything for backward flexion of the wrist? My mobility there is severely compromised. Thank you!
Yes the one in different planes is one of my favorite because it’s so effective! And I have several wrist videos, this one may help too- czcams.com/video/DqQ0R8tSs1Y/video.html
Awesome! Cast off yesterday after 5 weeks. SUPER stiff. Doc gave me no info on rehab. Really freaked me out as I am a guitar player with a lot of gigs coming up. This has given me hope. After one session I am feeling a little motion in my last joint. Thanks Robert
Web space massage and Ace wrap were ones i didn't know about and spoke help. My thumb extension tendons were injured by k wire intrested after botched up DRF wrist reset by bad doctors. After eight months and 40 sessions with nuts of occupation therapists, struggling to get 60% movement of wrist.
What will happen if I take the cast off my thumb before the date to take it off? The doctor say it was a small brake I have the cast on for 2weeks plus
Hi, I need your help. I recently had surgery for my right hand thumb as its distal phalanx from the back site at the bottom was totally broken due to some reason. On 12th April, the surgery was done and now 1 month has completed. Now, there is no motion in the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) i.e., my thumb is straight and can't bend from DIPJ. It would be helpful if you could resolve this issue? I can show you the pic of X-ray and my thumb if you want.
Hi, I broke my thumb at 13. It just started hurting really badly again at 20. I bought a brace and tried to make it better that way after I jammed it. It seems to be getting worse. It's really painful and it was a break of the base thumb bone right down the middle, I just can never tell if I've re-injured it because it always seems to look different from the other and hurt to some extent, but what should I do if I think it's injured again? Keep the brace on, or remove it? ( I can't go to a doctor)
Hi Michelle! I broke my wrist, arm, and my thumb in 2 places. My thumb was stationary for 3.5 weeks. Also my tendon was cut and apparently repaired during surgery and the joint in my thumb closet to my arm has a lot of scar tissue. Any how, I can't bend the joint closet to my arm. Nor can I touch my pinky. I have no restrictions right now. Is there anything you think I can do other than the option of surgery that doctors are suggesting.
My finger got dislocated and swollen once when I was playing with my friends but it still in the same swollen posture it's been already 2 years ma'am . Is there any remedy for this pls if u have reply me back ma'am I really feel irritated by seeing my finger.🙏🙏🙏 Help me
Sooo I dislocated my thumb at the base it was pushed down towards my palm its been ab 19 days sense my bike accident … so my questions how do i know if it is healing properly ? the swelling in my hand has came down alooot from what it was i pretty much sprained my hole hand & wrist , but so my thumb is still swolen it seens like and it is still kinda bruised looks like but i can’t bend it at all i can kinda sway it left right down up but i can’t bend it & kinda feels different than my other thing meaning when i touch something with my messed up thumb i dont have the same feeling as when i touch my good thumb so idk i just looking for advice to know how if it’s healing properly? How to tell ? Or Check i have been to doc it is in a cast but i take it off here and there to lightly wash it & re wrap it …any thing i should look for ?

This answers my questions about that thumb....I go Friday and hope to get clearance to start.
Thank you so much.. I will work on my thumb and report. You're so kind to do this.

The massage of the area of the thump space is so good and is helping me.

Thank you! I needed these tips so badly! You get a thumbs up 👍
Nice! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You are the best!
I got surgery on my thumb a month and a half now. When is the right time to apply this exercise? All your videos are great.
These are Ace treatments. Thanks! Is that a med / firm / soft putty? I guess too late to know. Have never felt it so don't know.
Thank you 🤙
A very good to help

Hi! I am after a broken thumb. Thank You very much!!! :)

Thank you for guiding

The doctor knows when you are ready to take your cast off. I wouldn't take your cast off or your thumb may not heal.

You should 100% go the doctor
How long it take to be normal fingers and wrists with pain
how about de quervain ??
Is it normal for me to not be able to move the base of my thumb at all without feeling like it’s still broken still ?
