Thank you. I really liked this video. Pandemic got me using my phone more, so I've injured my thumb (s) I also enjoyed how simple you made your format, no loud music, just simple facts. Thank you again 👍
Thank you for this video… I am a barber by trade and also a working musician dealing with CMC joint arthritis in my left hand! I am trying to manage this as best I can without getting surgery…
Yours was the third video I clicked on tonight for this info. Third time's the charm! I like how you are calm and clear. Also the sound quality of your voice recording is great. I did your warmups while massaging some arnica cream (Traumeel) into my painful thumb joint with a vibrator which I think was meant for something else 🤭. I'll look for a rubber band some other time. Thumbs UP! 👍
What if you feel a couple of mild clicks while you do those exercises? I think it’s called crepitus. Not really pain. So can you just do the exercises through that? Or does the click mean that yay are rubbing the cartilage in a way that will make things worse? I don’t have any visible deformity yet, but have had symptoms of cmc arthritis for around 4 years. Also, what do you think of steroid injections?
@@ForwardTherapy So not to Basel thumb joint but the actual joint in the thumb. Right behind the thumbnail where the thumb Bends. Developing a typical arthritis bump but it’s pretty painful- Just using Voltaren gel currently

Love you Kelly👌! These are great. Was already doing isometric di1 exercises with my patient. Will incorporate these variations into our treatment!
Yes! I love them too, so glad I’ve had so many great colleagues share their ideas!

Crepitus! I would not do the exercises through pain, but often times pain free clicking is not harmful.
👍👍👍
Do these exercises have names? What would you recommend calling these exercises in documentation?
Dynamic stabilization for the cmc or thumb
My MCP joint locks when I grip something with all my might, it never used to do this before, I was wondering if you knew of any exercises for that?
Hmm… would probably be good getting seen by a doctor to check the tendons and ligaments to make sure nothing more serious is going on.
What about thumb knuckle?
Can you clarify the question?
