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!
Here’s a video covering “How Hand Arthritis Happens” in case you were wondering:

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!

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 4 месяца назад

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!

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.

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

@mariannecorman Год назад

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.

@kimtait127 Год назад

A few years ago a therapist told me to massage the tendon on the top side of my forearm to stretch it out and it takes my thumb pain right away. I can see how this stretches the tendon somewhat too. I tried this and it helped a little but not as quickly as rubbing and stretching the arm tendon.

Wow! great exercise to know. i just started HANGING at home on GYM BAR for decompression of spine. My hands beginning to hurt now. (4th day). 6 yrs ago, I was told i have arthritis in hand/fingers when i fell and suffered hand pain at work . Eventually it went away on its own. The hanging- pain i am feeling NOW (i think?) is just REGULAR soreness that " old people get" when they first start trying to HANG with no natural PADDING left in palms of hands. 🤪 It feels now like just boney hands hanging on a bar.😂 Aging is hell! LO L Guess I just have to toughen up again in life! I refuse to let this stop me from learning to HANG.😃 Just need to slower my pace. I guess? What say you Dr. David??

@epmanualphysicaltherapy 3 года назад

Great question Cathleen Torres! Yes we absolutely recommend this for rheumatoid arthritis in the thumb. You've got to be light with the exercise and see how you respond. It's easy to over do it with RA, but you need to do exercise to get the muscles stronger to better support the joints.
