This is how a perfectly produced video looks and sounds. Excellent, simple, effective exercises displayed in about 3 minutes. I followed along and both thumbs feel much, much better. Thank you so much for sharing...I've subscribed. 👍

Sometimes I wonder who writes the glowing reviews. Maybe they don’t have true CMC joint arthritis, bc some of these exercises make the CMC joint more painful.

I’m way beyond RICE at this point!

I have advanced degeneration & have to splint both hands at night - with my thumb abducted. When I pinch the CMC joint, the bone is swollen like a marble & very painful to massage. I’ve been CMC arthritis pain for 15 or more years.

They recommend surgery but I am not ready to give up the mobility my thumbs provide. Squeezing a ball is OUT. squeezing a wet sponge is pure agony.

This really works! My thumbs were killing me after trying to pop them too hard, but by doing this I reduced my pain by 90%.

Everything feels great, except when I do the wrist stretch, fingers pointing down (wrist flexion?) Sharp pain in my thumb joint... any idea what this could be and how I can fix. I really need to stretch my wrist and forearms for tennis Elbow but the wrist stretch with the fingers pointing down... cause huge sharp pains in my thumb joint :( appreciate any advice.
