Thanks, my thumb has been stressed from work and this let me bench press comfortably!

Started rugby about a month ago, I've jammed my thumb a few times and I was thinking of incorporating taping into my recovery. Definitely going to give this technique a try! Cheers!

[lookNfeel]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge . 😀

Wow thank you. I used the second method and it is the most comfortable support I have had for my wrist and thumb. I have a wrist brace but it doesn't do much for my thumb so the taping with the brace on top works great.

jammed my thumb more times than i could count and i finally sprained it. im really glad that you posted this! water polo training has been more intense ever since we came back from online zoom training. i will definately buy some sports tape to get myself ready for nationals next year!!

This is extremely helpful. My son is a catcher (in baseball) and jammed his thumb making a tag at the plate. It's painful for him to catch pitches now, and I was looking for a way to mitigate some of that pain without prohibiting him from fitting his thumb in the mitt. Looks like this should do the trick. Thanks!

[Tree_Surgeon]

Hi can this be used if you have a tffc tear. Im wanting to start back boxing again and am looking fir the best way to stap them besides crate bandages

[donnmalate]

what do you use? i see there two type and atm ive got the rigid strapping..?

[RVDS]

This is amazing, Im EXTREMELY hypermobile and im playing tennis at a high level. Having a lot of wrist and thumb problems (pain)through constant hyperextension at every ball I hit. This taping keeps everything in place but still lets me hold my racket without having tape in the palms.

One more question: whats the name of the white tape?

[sumvibesimp]

What kind of tape do you use and where can I bought it? I have severe Rhizarthrosis (arthritis of the base of the thumb ) and Carpal tunnel syndrome.
