THANK YOU so much! I have been trouble with this for a year now. I've been trying to pickup the guitar again after a couple decades and realized it was a non-starter with my thumb like this. I did go and get a surgery scheduled, but this will absolutely help me through the gap! 👍 <no pun intended 🤣🤣

thus looks great...just note that your 3.5 inches is really more like 6+. 3.5 is no where near that long....all in all ty!

This is great for the pain below my thumb to my wrist, but I also have pain from my inside thumb/web/and up to my first index finger knuckle. So while it helps the former, it agitates the latter, and I also have De Quervain's Tenosynovitis if there is any tape method for that as well. Thank you!

Thanks, I found this very helpful. I'm a youtuber and do carpentry and cooking. This worked very well. 😊 ❤

Thank you for the video, it’s very helpful 😊. Where can I find the link for the brace?

[laurapalmer]

Thank you very much for this tic technique. I’ve seen many taping techniques that just use so much tape. I’m going to try this and see how it does. I am having that osteoarthritis pain in that joint there at the bottom area of my thumb. You did mention some type of brace that you could purchase if you don’t want to do taping all the time, would you mind sending me a link to that?

I just came on YouTube to try to figure out why I have so much pain in my thumbs.. came across your YouTube channel used the chip clip on my hand and the pain is gone now... I don’t believe it

[LDDrue]

Would appreciate some exercises to relieve thumb pain. I am trying the tape technique. Thank you

[ambermcalpine]

I really like your style. I’m applying my tape right away.

This helps on long motorcycle rides... thank you

I was wondering how often to wear the tape? I love softball and floor hockey so much, but because of osteoarthritis in my thumb, it's getting harder to hold the stick and bat. I'm hoping the taping will help. I do have a splint, but it makes it hard to wear the splint with baseball gloves and road hockey gloves. Thank's for the video. My sport's are my life as it helps alot with my mental illness. I can't lose my sport's! I'm 53, but still playing like it's game 7!!!

[candyduncan]

Thank you this helps, but I also have pain on the back side of my thumb starting at the second bend from the nail and down to my wrist. Is there a taping that can be added for this area?
