Thank you Michelle…As a LMT for 30 years, these are going to be part of my daily routine!
Just getting over gout. Never knew it would happen in the hands but it certainly set up in my right hand. Talk about misserable.
Keep talking pls straight to the point dun waste time
My thumb has a problem in the same way . also
I have a problem in my hand after the fingers can not be bent I can't hold anything in my hand, the fingers don't straighten out and don't contract Are there different exercises? Thank you very much, Doctor
What are your credentials??? Are you a physical therapist? OT? Etc.
My thumb has been feeling a tight lately when I bend it and now it’s swollen. I’m worried
Thanks for helping.
Thanks for this. Looking for pain relief from Basal Thumb Arthritis. REALLY trying to avoid surgery!
Have you posted anything about the index finger pain by any chance?
Hi there, had thumb surgery Trapezioctomy with rope a few weeks ago. My other hand is experiencing similar pain, RSI most likely cause. I so hope doing these exercises will help the pain, strengthen the area so surgery not required on it at some stage. The pain from current surgery, pretty bad, so hope can strengthen other hand.
Thank you!!!!
It’s very important to say a very big thank you to Dr ONO on YOUTUBE for using his natural herbal Medications to cure my Arthritis permanently
Wow! Thanks
bch cut my thumb off at this point can’t take it won’t anymore hurts to fkn type this thing
Thank you so much I've been struggling for many years I've only just got my doctors to get a little bit of help I had injection a steroid injection on my right hand but the pain can be excruciating I'm working so it's very essential that I use my hands thank you again
I'm Obviously can’t give you my thumbs up….But I like the tips
Thank you ! The pinching of the muscle between the thumb and pointer finger really helps. Studying classical guitar really works the right thumb very hard. The relief I feel is so welcomed….thank you so much !
Thanks for this. I do get RA pain in that joint but also more severely in the very first joint at the top of the thumb and that joint is frozen. Do you have any therapies for that joint? Thanks
So glad I found this! I’m a finger style guitarist/pianist, & some days my right thumb hurts at the base. These exercises should help my thumb muscles strengthen & relax. I play many hours each day, so it’s important to me to get this under better control. Thanks again!
