- Follow along with Michelle as she guides you through Finger and Thumb Stretches in a Cast: Real Time Routine.
Sometimes a wrist cast is made too high on the fingers, leaving you with extremely limited finger and thumb range of motion for several weeks.
Luckily these gentle passive finger and thumb stretches can help you loosen up your fingers and ultimately prevent finger deformities when your cast comes off.
Most of the time, you have to wear a cast for several weeks in order for your wrist to heal. This can lead to unwanted swelling and stiffness of your fingers and thumb long after your cast is removed.
Performing these finger and thumb exercises in a cast will not only decrease finger and thumb pain, but they will keep you fingers loosened up so you can focus on your wrist when your cast comes off!
Always check with your doctor to make sure you can perform these finger and thumb exercises in your cast. (See our full disclaimer below)

i totally respect your time ans knowledge that you have, only i am asking for your valuable 5 minutes and guidance... dear mam, pls consider my request
this is incredibly helpful. I am a professional flutist. I broke my distal radius three weeks ago but I am eager to get my fingers moving again as I have concerto performances in October. It is very heartening to do these exercises and to see how much more flexibility I have after I do them. Thank you so much for these kind and caring videos -- it's giving me both flexibility and hope.
Thank you
Thank you so much

Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the finger stretching it hurts like hell when I do the third stretch with my index and middle finger I am two weeks into wrist fracture is this normal?
Excellent video - my fingers felt instantly better and you made it very easy to follow. Thank you!
You are welcome! Glad it helped!
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I broke my wrist in three places on the weekend & had a plate & cast fitted on Monday so it’s great to have found so great exercise ideas!
How long did you have your cast on and how was it after you took off the cast? Did you use a wrist brace?
@@delftblue8801 I had the cast on for four weeks followed by a brace for another four weeks.
Six months later I had another Op to remove the plate as it was contributing to numbness in three fingers - my carpal tunnel nerve had been squashed. So it took around 9 months for everything to come right.
this is amazing, thank you /:)
Thankyou iam suffering from arthritis fingers
Your speech is fine
And the way of explanation is superb
This video is very helpful to me presently.
Michelle, I have got a wrist fracture and 2 months will finish up on 5th.
I want to make my hand from elbow to the wrist,very strong ,Can you pls publish a video for this?
Had ORIF just last week due to DRF. How soon can I start doing these wrist exercises? Would it be too early to do it now? There’s a lot of stiffness I can feel on my wrist. Fingers are fine except for my thumb. Would love to know some insights. Thanks.
Exercises are great! I have a question. My initial cast was too tight and created a callus @ the bottom of the thumb webbing & is quite bothersome Any suggestions on softening it or will it eventually go away on its own?
Is there any difference in exercises based on whether or not you had surgery? I'm thinking that if we don't have the security of screws, I might have to be less aggressive?
You are so amazing and generous. I am having massive skin peeling and dryness on hand with wrist cast--advice or video on how to care for skin by cast!!!????:)
Oooh thank you for the video idea! Unfortunately I don’t have a video on this however something as simple as Vaseline on the skin and moleskin around the cast edge can help.
I’m doing these after first setting and split while waiting for surgery next week. Is that ok? I feel like I need it my fingers and especially my thumb are getting stiff
Im paralyzed still my fingers are not proper can you please tell ideas to improve
Have ever thought about isometric exercises with the fingers? That means that you push with the other hand against a finger and the finger pushes back.
Hello I have a question I hope you can answer because I have been crying and on the verge of mental breakdown. I’m 23, I think about a year ago I have noticed my fingers have started to get very crooked, my right hands ring and middle finger bend sideways and on my left, my middle and point finger bend and turn sideways like outward if that makes sense. When I use my hands to squeeze something or use strength I do notice I feel my fingers feel kind of numb or like tingling, i never felt that before.
I did used to crack my fingers so much when I was younger. I also noticed they’re looking bumpy. I want to cry because I used to paint my nails and sometimes wear rings and now I don’t want to do it even tho I used to love it. I love nail polish and can’t even enjoy it anymore it’s simple but has affecting me.. Please help me, I told my doctor but they said if my fingers don’t hurt they don’t think it’s a big deal to see a specialist but I want to know if there’s a solution or what’s wrong. :( please
Did you go to a specialist? Rheumatoid arthritis? But no pain? Hope you were able to sort it out.
