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

@shireenweinstock1407 3 месяца назад

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. 🤩

@jakethehitman-187 2 года назад

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

@ffaade 2 года назад

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.

Here is a supination video that may help! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1RBfKPlTKhE.html

@Juliejules1539 Год назад

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.

@VirtualHandCare Год назад

You’re welcome! 🙏 Keep us updated on your progress!

@markhamlewis4929 2 года назад

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 👍

@VirtualHandCare 2 года назад

Nice! A big thumbs up to you for putting in the work! 👍👍

@Katie-vy5rd Месяц назад

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😊

@TownGirl04 2 года назад

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.

@johntarun9177 2 года назад

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.

@robertlloyd2053 Год назад

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

@Katie-vy5rd Месяц назад

How are you doing? I just got put into rigid splint for 2-6 weeks yesterday.. did you ever get back to your original baseline?

@laurieparis2203 3 года назад

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!

@VirtualHandCare 3 года назад

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- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DqQ0R8tSs1Y.html

@figureitout416 2 месяца назад

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 😢

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.

@luniusbebe32 2 года назад

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 ?

@charisdorsey8594 Год назад

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.

@arjunmankar9006 Год назад

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.

@Whimzymoth Год назад

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)

@douemperor2142 Год назад

how about de quervain ??

@WhiteNite_ Год назад

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

@VirtualHandCare Год назад

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.
