- Here’s a great way to free up a stuck thumb joint if you’ve got thumb arthritis.
Be sure to get a good pull and wiggle from the wrist rather than the whole arm.
Don’t do this if it hurts! It should make your thumb joints feel good!

You had me at, "avoiding meds and surgery"... thanks!
ME TOO ☺️
This is an extremely underrated comment. Avoiding meds and surgery should always be the goal.
Thank you so much! I did the technique every time my thumb joint would hurt and today I woke up without pain. I'm very grateful.
Omg this helps IMMENSELY. Being a 59 year old chef, this is such a relief!
God bless you, from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤.
So happy to hear that it helped you out Karan! 🇳🇿🧡
same here ive watched several vids never relief or increase my mobility. im so grateful youtube recommended your vid
@@epmanualphysicaltherapywhat are the brace/clamps I see people have on the muscle/area between thumb and pointer finger? What it called & why they use them
Came accross this excercise. Have swollen, painful thumb joints, definitely be trying this. Thank you Doctor.
My thumb joint was pain free after the first time I did the exercise. I'll keep it up. Also, I just ordered the hand grip/squeeze tool you recommended in an earlier video and plan to start that exercise as soon as it arrives. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos.
This video significantly helped me finally get relief from my “texter’s thumb”!!
Thank you so much!!
That really works!!! Your advise is the best!! My thumb feels better. None of the other videos work. Thank you very much!

It is amazing how much healthier my body is since following you. Thank You!!
Thank you so much for this video! I had excruciating pain few days ago and did research on google and discovered I may have thumb arthritis. After doing the exercises you demonstrated on this video, I’m shocked how much it helped me! Next day no pain so anytime I feel the pain coming back I do that and exactly- thank you so much 😊
Llfc use use kk
Man! Thank you very much. I feel better just after one exercise.
Thanks Doc for your great insightfulness! I just had this pain started in my right hand thumb joint a week ago. I stopped working out thinking I might have done something wrong but it turns out to be joined arthritis .by watching your video and doing exactly what you demonstrated here made the pain completely go away and felt more mobility in that area.
I was doing the exercise while watching the video and this stretch really works. l’ve tried other videos with no results thank you for sharing this video.
Wow, this really works. My thumb feels amazing. I was in so much pain earlier. Thank you!!!
OMG..... instant relief! Thank you so much
This Really Does Works, Thank You !!!! I will try this 3-4 times a day...
Great, good tips, thanks 😊
It definitely does help. Thank you very much. 👍🏽
Thank you! I have so much pain in my CMC joint in both hands, now even at rest they throb. I have a busy job, I have problems writing or holding anything. And I travel for work, requiring hours behind the wheel, which also seems to aggravate the pain. This was really helpful!
Thank you so much! I tried your suggestion; the clicking in my right thumb immediately ceased. I could not believe it was that effective! That was definitely helpful!
Very helpful, thank you

Thanks for this information
I am doing the stretch, feels good, muchas gracias.
I have pain with the higher up joints on the thumb, the actual knuckle joint and the one below it. Would love a video on how to reduce pain in those areas!
Hey Caroline, the same methods can apply to each joint of the thumb. The general idea is to get each joint moving effectively and often. It is also important to develop the muscles within the hand itself to better support the joints. Often times, people will overuse the muscles that are in the forearm and not use the muscles in the hand enough. Hope this helps!
I am starting today. That’s were my pain is quite a lot. Thank you Dr David. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
You're welcome Monika!!! Please let us know how it goes trying this out. 🇦🇺😀
Thanks a lot Dr David. Very informative
Wow amazing instant pain relief
Thank you this is more effective than other methods I've tried.
Hey Walilu! You're very welcome!
This genuinely helped reduce the pain and increase the mobility/strength of my thumb immediately after the first time I did it. Thanks!
Hey Stephen, That is so awesome to hear! 🎉 You are welcome. We are thrilled you are feeling some relief!
Thanx Brother
That really helps!
Thanks, I'vw been looking for a way to deal with this issue for some time.
Hello from u.k.
This seems the best method, because you are not
using your other thumb on its own directly as a massager.
Which can make more problems.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing
Hey Dr. David
I am really glad that you have made this good video and have saved many people from spending unnecessary money .
I watched this video and did exercise once and my pain has reduced a lot.
You have done very good work, may Allah give you success for your good work.😊

🙏 Thank you,it feels better
My knuckle closest to my nail has been locking w/serious pain where you showed us to pull. It feels a little better after 1st session. Thank you so much❣️
How are you getting on now? The same has happened to me over the last few weeks. I have got ibuprofen gel which helps slightly. I’m terrified it creeps into my other fingers
I have the same issue. When I am able to bend it, the knuckle jars and it hurts. I wake up several times through the night in excruciating pain. I can’t bend it…putting any kind of pressure on it. I don’t know what to do with it. My nurse practitioner says it’s caused from the C joints in the neck but I 100% disagree. Please advise.
Sounds like trigger thumb.
Thank you.
Thank you so much doc. It works. Amazing

I’ve have severe pain in the proximal joint space towards the medial joint space along the extensor tendon/sheath. I don’t believe it’s tenosynovitis but, it’s possible. I’m going to try these (along with ice and immobilization) and hopefully this will have a positive impact. Thank you for your videos.
Thx so much
Very helpful videob! Thank you !

Great to hear that this EDJ! Once you feel your mobility is good, then no need to continue doing it. It's time to move onto strengthening!

Thank you! I have been suffering from thumb pain from some unknown cause for several weeks and your release technique seems to have fixed it in just one repetition of this exercise. Perhaps I was some kind of an alignment issue? Not sure. But mobilizing the joint helped fix the issue! Thank you!
Hey Renate, you are very welcome! We are so glad this technique helped to fix your thumb pain! We hope this is also a useful technique for you in the future if necessary.

Amazing…after 1-2 minutes pain reduced and range of movement increased +++. Thanks so much.

Wow, amazing! I have been having pain for the last 3 weeks while picking up items or just driving my car!! This really worked. If pain feels bad, I can just do this process. Maybe, I can play golf again!! Thank you very much!!!
Hi! I did this on my "not so bad" hand. The cmc joint was grinding/scraping & something kind of clunked almost audibly like up & over something. It did not feel good. Is this exercise contraindicated for some people? Thanks!
Thank u much better
It does work 👍
Hello Dr. is there a permanent treatment for this pains?
Thanks dude! The pain was enabling me to do my karate classes. One day, while conditioning my body I felt a pain in my thumb, I researched and found out I had thumb arthritis. Now I found this vid to relieve my pain 😎
Hey Dark, we are very happy that we could help!
Oh it does hurt some doing that (inflamed) but it feels better after. I have big toe arthritis too. Hope you have a suggestion for that.
Wow, I have a very sore thumb & been trying to find some form of exercise to help. This is a great idea. 👍🏽
Glad you liked it Beverly!
Thank you, diffentley going to give it a try ❤
Hey Sharon, glad to hear you are going to give us a shot! We would love to hear an update in the future!
I've tried the exceris and it feels amazing, thank you so much 🤗
It hurts mega and pulled out of the socket- it was agonizing until I moved it around and got it back in the socket. I certainly would never do that again-
Pls can u tell about wrist joint pain
El Paso awesome I'man hour away....hiya neighbor....I tried this on my thumb....feels a little wobbly now but better....i think i may have fractured it or something years ago....anyhoo....any advice on severe right side lower back/hip pain....a few years ago my husband and I were doing some stretching and i heard a pop....about a few months later in the fall it started to hurt....or well at least was sore during the winter or just at random times....would this be best for a chiropractor to see....I cannot have surgery....nor do i want anyways....but just asking....thanks in advanced....in case....you do take referrals?
Do you have any movements for painful wrist on the pinky side? Thank you.
"A handful of times," great!
Before I watch this, try it, and find out it won't work for me...will it help? My thumb feels like I just need to crack the knuckle, but I've had issues with it because when I was younger I was jumping on my parents bed one day when I fell off and landed on my left thumb (I know, bad me...never jumped again though, so...🤷🏼♀🤷🏼♀)
Can u pls tell about wrist joint pain . Just behind the thumb. Pls
Thumbs up! (ha!) Thanks for the tips!
Hi Natalie, 🤣 That's a good one! LOL! You're welcome.🧡
What If thumb is get locked, and paining when moving , after fracture how to repair it at home,
Try cutting out tea and coffee. It took quite some time but it worked for me!
question: would a person that has been playing woodwinds instruments (saxophone,flute,etc)most of their life be more susceptible to thumb,wrist and hand pain due to an increased arthritis due to over use of finger,wrist and hand joints?
Thank you very much! I feel such a relief :)
Any innovative help for De Quervain Tenosynovitis?
That area of mine clunks, and no matter the amount of pressure, I have discomfort. Got quoted $8500 for stem cell injections for chronic pain. I delined.
🙏👍❤️🙏Thank you
Is there a way to help with the pain in the area around the base of the thumb
