Self Treatment For A Stiff Arthritic Thumb Joint

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:

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 😊

This video significantly helped me finally get relief from my “texter’s thumb”!!
Thank you so much!!

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.

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❣️

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!

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.

[veganrican]

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.

[carolineASMR]

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!

[elenaborowski]

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!

[grenlurh]

This is very effective to relieve my thumb arthritis. Many thanks.
