Thank you so much! I have been in so much pain for about 5 months now and my doctor had X-rays done and said, "No broken bones. It's just arthritis. Park of getting older." 😮 I just turned 51 and I am not handling my 50's very well at all. So to be that insensitive I went home in tears. I had never heard of Texting Thumb before. He sure as hell didn't consider it. But I had a feeling my thumb pain had something to do with my cell phone use (abuse I should say). I will not accept the diagnosis that I'm just getting old so I have to accept it and live with constant pain. Watching this video and doing these exercises gave me some relief for the first time in months. So thank you again, for the relief and the hope that maybe I'm not that far over the hill.
Yeah apparently it's called RSI, Repetitive strain injury. I have it too it's really bad and affecting my life, had it for the past month. It come out of no where in a split second, not even gradually.
Thank you. Years ago I fell asleep reading a very thick book. My husband had a really hard sliding it out from my “death grip”. Ever since I’ve had pain in my thumb and the pad under it. We jokingly refer to this as my “reading injury”, but it’s no joke! I’ll do these exercises religiously.
Very helpful. The thumb circles with the band and sharpie rolls gave an excellent stretch. I have thumb problems from doing origami for 12 years. Thank you for your passion of helping people.
I started having thumb joint paint last night, and woke up with it this morning. I didn’t look for your vid, it literally popped up and began playing as I walked carrying my iPad! Now how’s that for AI?! Did all the exercises and it has loosened up. Fortuitous find. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Rowe! Fabulous exercises and I will steal them from you! I am a Pilates instructor and will incorporate them into my myofascial release work class. I recently injured my anatomical snuffbox on my right hand and I especially enjoyed that highlighter move!
You are awesome I just happened to see that you had a video there and it was a good one cuz I've been experiencing the hand pain thank you for the video
I did your exercises for both of my hands with you. They felt great afterwards. I hope to do your excercises as often as I can ever week I have had 6 months of hand therapy 8n the past.
Dr. Rowe thank you for always listening to me. Thank you for all your videos. Every video you do is helpful. Thank you for caring, I know we are all lucky to have you.
Fell asleep with the tv remote in my hand. Hand and remote got wedged between chair arm and my leg for a bit of time. Been fighting that pain and loss of strength for about 4 years. Went thru all these exercises and felt relief after first run thru. Couple more runs in the next couple days oughta eliminate.
Thank you for these exercises. My thumb has been hurting for quite a while & they really just say its arthritis, deal with it. It's beginning to make normal things more difficult - removing lids from jars( forget child proof locks...not going to happen; lifting a full kettle or saucepan and so on. These exercises look simple and easy to without a large input of time. Thanks again. 😍
Thank yoy so much! This came just at the right time for me - ive been struggling with thumb pain for months due to my work and youe exercises have helped so much - i cant believe it! I love all your videos, so clear , to the point and the exercises work! Thanks again 🙏
New subscriber 👋 This has helped me in just a few minutes! Amazing. I am a beauty therapist, and use tweezers all day long. I feel this video will help me massively. Thank you!
Thanks for the upload doc! So I have an interesting condition one of which I cannot pronounce but it's commonly known as toe thumbs or murderers thumbs. They're missing a bone and essentially are shorter than my other fingers and kind of look like toes. They've made it hard to play the piano but I've adapted with the help of tape and popsicle sticks believe it or not. They played a small part in making it difficult to throw like a large softball but I adapted to that too and was on a team that won a regional championship when I was younger. I can't wrap my thumb all the way around the neck of the guitar stop playing a six string is kind of out of the question but I can rock a 4 string bass. Not great at hitchhiking that's for sure but on the plus side my thumbnails are very thick and strong. I have this ailment on both of my hands and it is definitely a trip 😎 the most known case of this in the public would be Megan Fox but I don't think my thumbs look like hers I think mine look a little better personally lol. But yeah it's just an interesting condition 😎
Great 👍 Video 😊 have a problem with my right hand ring finger and small finger due to accident because of which I am unable to use my right hand fingers there's tightness and do most of my work with left hand can you please let me know if there are any exercises for last two fingers thanks 🙏
Thumbs up (with no pain), but please... what’s the name of a condition which makes the hand or fingers just a little stiff but it doesn’t cause pain or affect your life really? I’ve been told to have that many years ago but forgot its name! Thank you for your amazing work here!
Thanks just watched and followed your directions great. One correction it not the “Volcan” finger “ Leonard Nimoy was Jewish. That sign is the orthodox Jewish sign of the Cohen or high priest 😊
