- Michelle, Hand Expert and founder of Virtual Hand Care, shows you her Top 3 Trigger Finger Exercises to help stop the triggering, catching, or locking of your finger.
These trigger finger exercises will work on stretching the finger to prevent joint stiffness, gliding the FDP (Flexor Digitorum Profundus) tendon, and stretching the A1 pulley with FDP isometric contractions.
Trigger finger is a very common hand condition that can greatly impact the functional use of your hand with almost ALL daily activities. By using a combination of splinting, stretches, and isometric exercises you can potentially eliminate your trigger finger.
Keep in mind, it is important to see a Hand Doctor if you suspect trigger finger so you can get a proper diagnosis and get on the right path to treating your trigger finger. Unfortunately, there are 4 grade levels of Trigger Finger so results can vary greatly. (see Disclaimer below)

The exercise at 3:36 is one of the exercises that I did through experimentation and found it to be the best exercise for relieving and improving my trigger finger condition. Pulling the finger back straight is the key to make this exercise painless. I'm so glad that it turned out to be an exercise recommender by a hand expert.
I havent tried yet or even watches yet but im 30 years old and jesus its so painful. Started out as carpel tunnel a few years ago but i will be back to comment if it helped thanks
Omg old if I did the 1st exercise correctly I'm a go and try again but my ring finger it really helped, the exercise 2 and 3 definitely helped!!! I even have a tingling feeling afterwards but a good one, not the painful numb kind..more like a relief
PAIN
Q
My doctor told me there is nothing I could do about my trigger finger. A quick search on TH-cam and I found this video. Literally within five minutes over half of the trigger movement was relieved. Wow. I’m gonna be doing these daily.
does your doctor quack? Every doctor of medicine should know that there are many approaches to treatment of trigger finger. Non-invasive such as exercise always a good way to start.
Thanks, I'm 70 and construction worker.Ive swung a hammer millions oof times and that has led to right hand index locking
I'm trying your techniques to avoid costly doctor visits, no insurance, and below poverty level. Appreciate you !
I’ve had two steroid injections in as many years and trigger finger keeps coming back. I’ve been offered surgery as the next option but I’m glad I’ve found these videos before I’ve had this done. Thanks
I scheduled another cortisone injection because one finger was starting to flare up. I tried the exercises just once- especially the third one, and my pain and stiffness are nearly gone. I canceled the cortisone injection. I'm so glad there are exercises. I've had this problem for several years and never knew there was hand therapy for it. I use my hands a lot so I am going to do these exercises every day as a prevention. Thank you!
Thank you for your clear, positive and informational instructions. Lou in Dallas
Hi Michelle, I am a full-time manual wheelchair user and have had issues in the past with moderate carpal tunnel discomfort. Recently, I started feeling more trigger finger in my pointer fingers (both hands) and I came across your video today. The last two exercises really isolated the area I've been feeling. Thank you so much for your clear explanations of what to do!
I tried the three exercises with you and the triggering stopped. I will continue the exercises until its gone. Bless you, Jan
I did the exercises while watching the video. Amazing!!! immediately better. Thank you so much. I'm a professional bass guitarist and can't just stop my repetitive gripping motion.
Very good. She describes the same things my doctor describes. Also goes beyond the exercise my doctor gave.
Thank you for sharing this. I canceled my appt worth a surgeon this really helped me.
I am so happy to have found this video. My left middle finger has had me in tears because of typing, popping, and a locking up. I am desperately trying anything before consulting a surgeon. I found your exercises and I will be applying them throughout the day, I hope to have relief. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
any update?
Thank you great help!
Just started doing these exercises and I already see a difference in my hands the job I have I work at a laundry service for a major hospital and all day we’re pulling the linen apart, my hands had gotten so bad I had to get medicine for on my doctor but the exercises help my thumb on my right hand was the worse bc it wouldn’t bend it would pop it hurt so bad but this helps thank you.
Thank you!
Teşekkür ederim minnettarım 1 haftadır parmağım takılıyordu mucize gibi ilk yaptığımda parmağımda rahatlama ve yumuşama hissi oldu milyonlarca kez tesekkurler❤❤❤🙏
Thank you for your video
I went to a top hand Md . He offered injection and surgery in one year if it Doesn’t work. I told him I wanted to do OT and splint.
I got a splint and the OT looked at me weird and said there’s no OT for trigger finger and the dr did not put an order in.
I’m also an amputee which makes it more complicated. I’m adapting your instructions
Well, I worked for 15 years as a medical interpreter and I’ve seen it done several times.
Just to say if it wasn’t for professionals like you on TH-cam it would be very difficult
God bless you
My hand doctor offered injection on the left middle finger, which I decided to accept, but when my right middle finger started triggering, I opted to see a hand therapist. Exercises have been slowing thing progression down but still triggering, so I cam here.
Prior to this, I was seeing a physical therapist for other stuff, and she said she didn't know anything about hands, so I'm guessing that's its own specialty, which might be why the OT said nothing to be done.
Thank you so much!
I did them all and I feel so much better! Thank you
Thank you.
You're very helpful as always. Thanks!
Thanks, Doc.
I have left index trigger finger. I came across your video & did your exercuses. It's gentle but effective! I also really like your delivery. Perfect voice, modulation. Thank you soo much! Subscribed!
Nice and will to follow your advise
Thank you❤
I’ll try thanks
Beautiful illustration, thanks a lot
Very nice thank you i will do those exercises
Thank you! Will give these a try.
I was instructed by my Dr. To look up trigger finger therapy. I am trying your therapy for trigger finger. Stretches are helping. I am very sore however I will continue. Seems to help. I've been doing hot water therapy stretches. With your video I feel progress.
That's really amazing!!! Many thanks for the great video!!!
Excellent
That third exercise really did the trick. Right away.
Thank you so much for this! My trigger fingers were stiff and painful but these exercises significantly reduced it, even after one time. Thank you!
If your doctor says that it's okay, add muscle development on top of the stretches. That knocked my serious thumb and finger issue completely out of the park.
She probably mentions it in other videos, or this one. I have not watched the whole thing yet.
Thank you for your detailed explanation on the exercises for trigger finger, very useful and helpful!
Thank you so much! Great Video
It is really helping.
Very very helpful to us
wow these worked wonders for me
Thank you for these thorough exercises. They will, no doubt, help me during my working day. Thanks 🙏🏾
I really like it how you explained isometric help by bowing the pulley. It wouldn't have made sense to me without an explanation. Thank you!

Thank you so much doctor. Your exercises really help my trigger finger problem🥰
Thanks!
You are welcome and Thank you so much for the Super thanks!
Thank you so much. I love it. I did go to the doctor first.
Excellent! I am 76 years old, and have felt this for a couple months. One serious run through the three exercises has already helped.
Had a trigger finger dislociation about a month ago. Less than 5 weeks. I found this channel a day after and the videos have been great. Especially the "dip blocker" exercise which greatly helps with stiffness and regaining flexibility and mobility of the finger. I have to mention the "why is my finger still swollen" video which I found really helpful.
Thank you. Exercises are helping, along with a splint. Your videos are easy to follow.
Thank you so much for all your videos, can bend fingers a lot better, need a little more help with ring and little finger as these were pinned and not healing very well, was on antibiotics for three weeks. Your videos are the most help I have received! Thank you!
These exercises have been very helpful for me. I'm experiencing improvement and less triggering. My arm is aching less when I sleep. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I never had trigger thing (or any finger!) in 21 years of nursing, but this year, in my garden and farming.....thank you! Seeking to stay out of the hospital, doctors, system, etc. Definitely helpful already! Thank you much!!!! :)

Doing the exercises while watching this video, instantly gave relief to my little finger. Was always in pain due to my trigger little finger. Thanks for sharing these exercises.
Hi Felmar. I too have a clicking little finger. Thought I was the only one. I can’t think how this happened to my little finger- it doesn’t get over used. Have you found relief over the past month?
Cheers
@@scottm3055 I was trying to figure out why my little finger was triggering. In observing my day-to-day activities, I discovered I use this finger to support my phone when texting. I suspect that is what is causing my issue.
Awesome exercise. It works instantly on my finger. Very much appreciated ❤
I like this video...makes sense therefore it is empowering and also doable... appreciate the explanation. Looking forward to making my fingers strong and flexible...
Wow it's like a miracle 😳 I can use it so much better. Thank you.

My left hand ingury was from a 18 hole golf day . Middle finger triggered . These excercises work great, along with warm water soaks with magnesium salts. Thanks so much.
I had both hand middle finger triggers n I did this exercise it's reallly helpful.
Thanks.
First of all thanks indeed for sharing. I am doing the same as per your demo and I feel relieved on my trigger finger on my right index finger. I am certain the 3 processes will be very helpful to me.
I feel relief when I tried this excercise.
I’m glad I found your channel. I play bass and my left middle finger can’t close fully. I’ve had this issue for yrs and I hope these exercises will improve my ROM without needing surgery.
Very effective exercises - I felt instant relief after the first dip & pip stretch. Thanks so much for sharing, will practice these ❤
Muchas gracias...desde Lima,Perú (South america) he sentido alivio desde la primera vez que lo hice
Thank you for sharing this. These exercises helped me even on the first try. I Iove playing the guitar and this would manage my trigger finger problem-makes me less worry of not being able to play again. Thanks and all the best!
Hey man, I can relate. I'm also a guitar player, and have been quite concerned about this ring finger trigger situation. I'm hoping these exercises will eliminate the problem. Hope you have success as well.... can't stop playing guitar, it's in my blood! :o)
@@grayowl108 I'm rooting for you man. Keep on playing and I do hope your trigger finger problem fades away asap 🎸🙂
Thank you for all your help!!! GOD Bless you!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Every effective exercise. It's like a magic.
Very informative, thank you very much for the tips. I sleep with splints on my affected fingers because if I don't I will wakeup with them bent and locked and the pain is horrible.
I loved your presentation, the exs are very helpful! God bless!
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
it works on my middle finger..
after a couple of stretching with pain, my finger is smooth again..
I will always do it again and again, everyday..
thanks mam 😊
