How to Tape Your Painful Thumb » Kinesiology Taping Instructions » CureTape

Is your thumb sore, or do you experience a nagging pain? This may be due to overburdening or as a result of osteoarthritis of the thumb joint.

Applying tape around the thumb joint can reduce the pain. This video shows you step-by-step how you can tape your thumb yourself using kinesio tape. The "appendix thumb" (Morbus de Quervain) is often caused by overburdening of the wrist. Swelling of the tendon sheath can lead to "constriction" in the first extensor tendon sheath and cause pain in the thumb joint, which can radiate into the forearm. This pain usually occurs during exertion or when the thumb is spread out. The tape can be used as a support to relieve the tendon and the thumb movement. In the event of complaints, please also consult a doctor or therapist. The tape can also help with a general overuse injury to the thumb joint or as a result of arthritis in the thumb.
