Hi, my name is Bontle and I'm a Holistic Massage Therapist and I use my thumps and knuckles more than my forearms. I always have tension on my forearm and thumb, especially on my left hand because I'm a lefty 🙈 This was really beautiful, helpful and quite relaxing. Thank you
Awesome, I'm a photographer and my right thumb is been under pain for years, by applying this techniques on my thumb, I could feel the pain leaving, thank you!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best videos I have come across on helping thumb pain. I watched quite a few doctor videos in physiotherapist exercises but none talk about message and stretching. Going to give this a go 👍
My thumb is so relieved after trying this. Thank you. Will see how it goes for the next few weeks. Have been doing too much texting and gaming. Update: By end of today, my hand felt very relieved. Feels almost like normal and the soreness went away. I'm very happy and grateful to stumble onto this tutorial.
I have been looking for a thorough video for ages and, finally, here it is! Thank you for this, it helps me as a motorcyclist who rides every day with a clenched claw for hours!
Best information I’ve seen on the subject! I have Osteo and in the past four months have seen my hands become disfigured! I figure beer was the villain and have cut it out completely. Thanks a million!
OMG!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I'm in my clinicals right now and my thenar eminence on my left hand has been terribly painful! These stretches and massage techniques are wonderful!!!
Oh wow, this massage really helped ease the pain. I’m eighty years old still knitting. The fleshy part of my left thumb has been in so much pain since December 2021. I’ve had pain 24/7 for the past six months. Thanks to you young man, the massage helped 100% God bless 😊
Yessss,it is working. I've had annoying trigger thumb in my left thumb for almost a year,and,could not do any self massage as the right hand was so bad. Now,after trigger finger release surgery on both right,and,left hand,I will soon be able to concentrate on working on my left thumb. Thank you for great instruction that is easy to follow. Your videos are excellent,and, your presentation super!.
Hi Spencer. Thank you foe this video. I had EIP to EPL tendon transfer surgery recently resulting from a fall, broken wrist, radius displacement which severed the thumb tip tendon, I think EPL. I am in therapy now and things are moving well, slow and steady, as directed. I am going to incorporate your exercises once I get the approval from my therapist and surgeon. Thanks again.
I'd recently had a recurrence of dequervains . I don't thumb text but do play the guitar occasionally. I loved the video and had instant relief. I'll carry on doing this for a while and see how it goes. Thanks
God bless you this has helped my pain considerably! I’m a nurse so I’m always using my hands but now it’s time for my own personal healing so I can continue my work. Thank you bunches!😍
I’ve been an MT for 31 years, and my hands are truly struggling….thank you. Also, I’m sure you’re doing this for demonstration purposes, but resting the arm on your massage table and treating it that way is so much easier
I'm a hair stylist and my left thumb pad gives me so much trouble from round brushing, combing, etc and this helped SO MUCH. So glad I found this video!
Oh thank you so much for this video. I have had thumb pain since I started pumping (massaging breast to squeeze milk for my new born). I didnt know what was wrong with me. It even hurt a lot holding my newborn. Now I know what to do. Thank you thank you thank you. I just saw this video and tried some and it's already helping.
Dude, you're my go to TH-cam therapist. I have a million aches and pains and you help me more than any doctor or therapist I have ever seen. I am having a really persistent upper back issue resulting from laying in bed for 4 months due to a ruptured l5s1. Chronic stiffness and pain along the right side of my spine and radiating across my rib cage. Its located about 2 inches lower than where my armpits align with my spine. It constantly needs to be popped or else I would be stiff as a board. PLEASE help me understand what might be going on and how to fix it!!!
😁Thanks Spencer for sharing, I got to say this thumb exercise really works, it's my third day doing this massage with a mild balm and I feel little to no pain although I go back to my DIY splint, hopefully by tomorrow I would have fully recovered. 👍
I've had thumb pain for years now, right now the pad below the bottom joint has mysteriously become reddish-purple. I wear a brace and arthritis gloves at night, unsure if I had the brace too tight. Anyways, followed along your video and it feels much better. I'll be back here. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I’m a cosmetologist and I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. This felt really good and would be useful before and after each shift. You’re a total qt btw.
"Just work the hand." I love it! This has really helped my left thumb. I injured it when I fell...10 years ago! It's been so stiff and painful ever since and no medications helped. Your thumb self massage is the only thing that's given me any relief. Thanks so much!
Thanks a ton man! I type, sketch, and game besides fence (as in sport not as in a wall around your yard.) And between those three my wrist and fingers always hurt, especially the thumb. This REALLY helped!
I just started working in an ice cream shop and my thumb has been killing me from the repetitive motions. But thanks to your video I have no more pain. Thank-you!🎉😄
Thanks, my doctor didn't give me anything for my problem.I could not understand why I had pain only for a few minutes of playing guitar .I do work as a mechanic. But did not have problems working. Just playing guitar?.so I do this pre playing and after. Now I can play and hour or more with no or little pain
You do a good job with the editing. I've seen too many videos that have too long of intros, or that don't edit their content and have too much rambling or redundant information. The techniques you demonstrated helped loosen my thumb up. Thanks!
I just love your massage techniques. Great direction and I feel tremendous relief! Never thought about my thumbs before, but wow, what a different feeling of relief to have my thumbs loose and free.I could feel some of the relief to the top of my scalp! Thanks.
Very good for fingers.thank you. My left hand fingers,all five,from wrist ,are paining in all joints.there is slight inflammation in all fingers. Please advise
Thanks for the thorough info and amazing professional presentation of everything. I'm in school to be a physical therapist and I find these tips very helpful for future work. Keep up the great content
I've had some serious thumb pain for a while. Been checking a lot of videos from orthopedics but I've got to say your video has been the most throrough and detailed in explaining what exercises to do and they really, really do help. Great video, keep making them coz they help alot of people out here! However isn't using ice best immediately after an injury and anything after a couple of hours should be with warm water?
My thame had cut injury 40 years back now it is bending properly what to while I work ing it was ok now no work but can't do anything it's a great problem to me. Thume is the main to hold any thing with the spring I am working now thankyou sir your system also very good i will try ok
Hi so iam currently in massage school studying to become a massage therapist LMT what do you recommend in your personal experience the best way to memorize muscle names and arteries such as the location of the veins BTW I appreciate your tips and videos.
I have Thumb arthritis and these exercises helped. Thank you..
Me too. Couldn't figure out why I hurt so bad.

That is one of the most refreshingly sincere things I have read on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for this video 💕☺️ from Philippines
This was a very well explained video, thank you. What if the pain is only coming from the thumb knuckle area with no previous injuries
