- Here’s a great way to free up a stuck thumb joint if you’ve got thumb arthritis.
Be sure to get a good pull and wiggle from the wrist rather than the whole arm.
Don’t do this if it hurts! It should make your thumb joints feel good!
Here’s a video covering “How Hand Arthritis Happens” in case you were wondering:

You had me at, "avoiding meds and surgery"... thanks!
ME TOO ☺️
This is an extremely underrated comment. Avoiding meds and surgery should always be the goal.
Omg this helps IMMENSELY. Being a 59 year old chef, this is such a relief!
God bless you, from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤.
So happy to hear that it helped you out Karan! 🇳🇿🧡
same here ive watched several vids never relief or increase my mobility. im so grateful youtube recommended your vid
@@epmanualphysicaltherapywhat are the brace/clamps I see people have on the muscle/area between thumb and pointer finger? What it called & why they use them
I have pain with the higher up joints on the thumb, the actual knuckle joint and the one below it. Would love a video on how to reduce pain in those areas!
Hey Caroline, the same methods can apply to each joint of the thumb. The general idea is to get each joint moving effectively and often. It is also important to develop the muscles within the hand itself to better support the joints. Often times, people will overuse the muscles that are in the forearm and not use the muscles in the hand enough. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much! I did the technique every time my thumb joint would hurt and today I woke up without pain. I'm very grateful.
That area of mine clunks, and no matter the amount of pressure, I have discomfort. Got quoted $8500 for stem cell injections for chronic pain. I delined.
That really works!!! Your advise is the best!! My thumb feels better. None of the other videos work. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this video! I had excruciating pain few days ago and did research on google and discovered I may have thumb arthritis. After doing the exercises you demonstrated on this video, I’m shocked how much it helped me! Next day no pain so anytime I feel the pain coming back I do that and exactly- thank you so much 😊
Llfc use use kk
Great video!! Thank you! Very helpful!!
Thank you! I have so much pain in my CMC joint in both hands, now even at rest they throb. I have a busy job, I have problems writing or holding anything. And I travel for work, requiring hours behind the wheel, which also seems to aggravate the pain. This was really helpful!
Sweet bajeebas!! Why the HELL didn't the 5 different doctors I've been seeing for the past 4 years show me this??? Doing this feels as good or better than after I get shots. THANK YOU!
Hey MarkyApp, that's awesome! We are so glad we were able to help you find relief! You are so welcome!
This video significantly helped me finally get relief from my “texter’s thumb”!!
Thank you so much!!
OMG..... instant relief! Thank you so much
Great, good tips, thanks 😊
It definitely does help. Thank you very much. 👍🏽
My thumb joint was pain free after the first time I did the exercise. I'll keep it up. Also, I just ordered the hand grip/squeeze tool you recommended in an earlier video and plan to start that exercise as soon as it arrives. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos.
Man! Thank you very much. I feel better just after one exercise.
Thanks for this information
Yes! Wow it really made a difference, GodBless you!
This Really Does Works, Thank You !!!! I will try this 3-4 times a day...

Wow, this really works. My thumb feels amazing. I was in so much pain earlier. Thank you!!!
Wow, amazing! I have been having pain for the last 3 weeks while picking up items or just driving my car!! This really worked. If pain feels bad, I can just do this process. Maybe, I can play golf again!! Thank you very much!!!

It hurts mega and pulled out of the socket- it was agonizing until I moved it around and got it back in the socket. I certainly would never do that again-
🙏 Thank you,it feels better
My knuckle closest to my nail has been locking w/serious pain where you showed us to pull. It feels a little better after 1st session. Thank you so much❣️
How are you getting on now? The same has happened to me over the last few weeks. I have got ibuprofen gel which helps slightly. I’m terrified it creeps into my other fingers
I have the same issue. When I am able to bend it, the knuckle jars and it hurts. I wake up several times through the night in excruciating pain. I can’t bend it…putting any kind of pressure on it. I don’t know what to do with it. My nurse practitioner says it’s caused from the C joints in the neck but I 100% disagree. Please advise.
Sounds like trigger thumb.
Thank you this is more effective than other methods I've tried.
Hey Walilu! You're very welcome!
I’ve have severe pain in the proximal joint space towards the medial joint space along the extensor tendon/sheath. I don’t believe it’s tenosynovitis but, it’s possible. I’m going to try these (along with ice and immobilization) and hopefully this will have a positive impact. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you.
Pls can u tell about wrist joint pain
Hey Dr. David
I am really glad that you have made this good video and have saved many people from spending unnecessary money .
I watched this video and did exercise once and my pain has reduced a lot.
You have done very good work, may Allah give you success for your good work.😊
@Irshad Khan from ( India )
OMG...after months of pain, I do feel some relief. Well I'll be ...😂😂 Thanks for sharing Doc! I will start this treatment now.

Thank you, diffentley going to give it a try ❤
Hey Sharon, glad to hear you are going to give us a shot! We would love to hear an update in the future!
I've tried the exceris and it feels amazing, thank you so much 🤗
Hello from u.k.
This seems the best method, because you are not
using your other thumb on its own directly as a massager.
Which can make more problems.
Thank you.
This genuinely helped reduce the pain and increase the mobility/strength of my thumb immediately after the first time I did it. Thanks!
Hey Stephen, That is so awesome to hear! 🎉 You are welcome. We are thrilled you are feeling some relief!
Ty sooo useful....now i can workout harder without constant fear mybthumb is broken
Thank you very much for this video! I have ostro arthritis in both of my hands. My right thumb join hurts most of the time. I will definitely try this exercise.
Hi Deb, You are very welcome! We are so sorry to hear that you are dealing with osteoarthritis in both of your hands. We know how painful it can be and we hope you can find some relief soon. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress with this exercise.

Instant relief 😮💨
Oh i look so young at 39 but my thumb makes me feel old lol
Thx so much
Thanks dude! The pain was enabling me to do my karate classes. One day, while conditioning my body I felt a pain in my thumb, I researched and found out I had thumb arthritis. Now I found this vid to relieve my pain 😎
Hey Dark, we are very happy that we could help!
Thank you sooo much - this has been really helpful and has worked so quickly - I intend to do this every day.
Great to hear that this EDJ! Once you feel your mobility is good, then no need to continue doing it. It's time to move onto strengthening!
This exercise would be the best one to start with:

This feels so good. Thank you :)
A few years ago a therapist told me to massage the tendon on the top side of my forearm to stretch it out and it takes my thumb pain right away. I can see how this stretches the tendon somewhat too. I tried this and it helped a little but not as quickly as rubbing and stretching the arm tendon.
It does help on top of the pulling & stretching! Thank you!
Thanks a lot.
Hi Anupama, You are welcome! We appreciate the opportunity to be able to help.🧡
Amazing…after 1-2 minutes pain reduced and range of movement increased +++. Thanks so much.
Hi Steve, you are welcome! We are so excited to see that your range of motion has improved and that the pain has been reduced due to this technique. We appreciate you tuning in! May you have continued relief. 🧡
Hi Dr.
Hope you can help my left thumb is clicking and painful dies this excersize helps over time.😢
Thank you!!😊
You're welcome tatialagunas!!!!!!!!😊
Oh it does hurt some doing that (inflamed) but it feels better after. I have big toe arthritis too. Hope you have a suggestion for that.
Thank you! I have been suffering from thumb pain from some unknown cause for several weeks and your release technique seems to have fixed it in just one repetition of this exercise. Perhaps I was some kind of an alignment issue? Not sure. But mobilizing the joint helped fix the issue! Thank you!
Hey Renate, you are very welcome! We are so glad this technique helped to fix your thumb pain! We hope this is also a useful technique for you in the future if necessary.
Hello Dr. is there a permanent treatment for this pains?
Thanks!! I hope that this helps both my thumb arthritis and my trigger thumb too.
Thank you very much for your video. It really helps me a lot!!! And I am doing this stretch, couple times a day and it’s really helping! Thank you again!
Can u pls tell about wrist joint pain . Just behind the thumb. Pls
They say i am end stage and need surgery on thumb. But i see videos on that and it is brutal with months of pain and immobility. No ! This may do it for me. Thank you!
If you haven't already tried it, try rubbing castor oil on the painful joints. I have had arthritis (rheumatoid and osteo) for over 25 years and been on all kinds of drugs, I tried castor oil on my hands last week and I was shocked at how much it helped.
😊😊 u r amazing, magician. ❤❤
Try cutting out tea and coffee. It took quite some time but it worked for me!
Do you have any movements for painful wrist on the pinky side? Thank you.
It does work 👍
"A handful of times," great!
Thank you Doctor, any similar exercises for swollen finger knuckles? 🙏
Hi Venena, you are welcome! Dr. David doesn't have any resources specifically for swollen finger knuckles but we will forward your comment over to him so that he can consider it for future content.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you for your help. 👍
I’m 18 and I didn’t know shit about arthritis but it’s been hurting bad lately so I’m gonna try this.
same but i am 17
Thank u much better
Any innovative help for De Quervain Tenosynovitis?
Since I have this condition on both thumbs, I 'm reasonably sure that years of weight training is the main cause of this issue.
does this help bone on bone thumb arthritis?
Wow! great exercise to know. i just started HANGING at home on GYM BAR for decompression of spine. My hands beginning to hurt now. (4th day). 6 yrs ago, I was told i have arthritis in hand/fingers when i fell and suffered hand pain at work . Eventually it went away on its own. The hanging- pain i am feeling NOW (i think?) is just REGULAR soreness that " old people get" when they first start trying to HANG with no natural PADDING left in palms of hands. 🤪 It feels now like just boney hands hanging on a bar.😂 Aging is hell! LO L Guess I just have to toughen up again in life! I refuse to let this stop me from learning to HANG.😃 Just need to slower my pace. I guess? What say you Dr. David??
A 70 year old hanger here. Try gloves, they can be much more comfortable.. or you can wrap the bar like they do bicycle handlebars.
I had no pain in thumb until someone hit it and hyper extended it once. It ended up painful for weeks. Then it got better. Then it happened again recently my grand daughter hit it. It’s weak and moving my pointer finger causes pain in the thumb joint near wrist
Is there a way to help with the pain in the area around the base of the thumb
does that work for tendinitis or trigger finger in the thumb?
El Paso awesome I'man hour away....hiya neighbor....I tried this on my thumb....feels a little wobbly now but better....i think i may have fractured it or something years ago....anyhoo....any advice on severe right side lower back/hip pain....a few years ago my husband and I were doing some stretching and i heard a pop....about a few months later in the fall it started to hurt....or well at least was sore during the winter or just at random times....would this be best for a chiropractor to see....I cannot have surgery....nor do i want anyways....but just asking....thanks in advanced....in case....you do take referrals?
Hi! I did this on my "not so bad" hand. The cmc joint was grinding/scraping & something kind of clunked almost audibly like up & over something. It did not feel good. Is this exercise contraindicated for some people? Thanks!
Wow, I have a very sore thumb & been trying to find some form of exercise to help. This is a great idea. 👍🏽
Glad you liked it Beverly!
question: would a person that has been playing woodwinds instruments (saxophone,flute,etc)most of their life be more susceptible to thumb,wrist and hand pain due to an increased arthritis due to over use of finger,wrist and hand joints?
Thumbs up! (ha!) Thanks for the tips!
Hi Natalie, 🤣 That's a good one! LOL! You're welcome.🧡
What If thumb is get locked, and paining when moving , after fracture how to repair it at home,
Thank you very much! I feel such a relief :)
What about swelling thumb? How you treat it?
