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:

As a massage therapist I have blew out my thumbs releasing knots from people's back. They really hurt!! So need this!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤😊
I watched this and the hand OA video. I think he is on to something helpful!
Thank-you! It does feel good! I'll do it for several weeks and see what happens!
🫶👍
Can I do this exercise for thump pain… please reply
I have it in the big base of my left hand, and being right handed I think it is from all my years of reading and holding books in that hand. I do audio books now. I will try these.
none o these work, they just make it hurt more
dank jou it helpt goed
This feels good…just what I needed,my hands are painful and stiff
Thank you 😊
Oh my dear these exercises are excruciatingly painful, just made an old gal cry,please be careful folks, I do hope it helps as many as possible, I only last I few moments playing my gitar, have to put it down. We all need help tha k you, must pray for endurance and joy, smiles with others,pets flowers,the gifts God gives us for free, especially the ransom,that Jesus volunteered with his life. James chapter 1 verse 17. John chapter 3 verse 16. And chapter 17 3 and 6 Psalms chapter 37 verses 10,11 and 29. Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 thru 5 😊 agape ❤
What are your suggestions for individuals who have the mobility in the CMC joint but extreme pain with any activity.
I have seen 76 summers and get pain relief immediately with your exercises, this one for thumb OA no exception.
Unable to use it for much of the day and now early morning after trying out this exercise for a few minutes already marked improvement. Amazing really and so simple. Many thanks.
I"m going to give it a try
When I get arthritis pain in my hands, I hold them under hot (as I can stand) water for a few minutes. Pain goes away.
Thank you! I just started to get that very condition in the joint of my thumb. That felt really good!
Thank you thank you!!❤❤
What if it's very painful when doing this?
But both thumbs are in pain so its hard to do this.
I'm glad I found your video! When my thumbs bother me, I pull on my thumb and crack the knuckle. This gives me a little relief for a while. I will definitely be using your stretching exercises.
Great….thank you😊
Can this to help osteoarthritis in the thumb?
Ive recently strained, my thumb joint about a week could go and I started getting muscle spasms.
Will that go away in time
PhD biochemist here: Works like a charm. Even better for me when I upped my intake of glucosamine chondroitin. But it won't be healed in days or weeks. It takes a few months, so be patient.
Amazing, I followed the instruction and did it for 3-4 minutes, twice this afternoon, and I don’t feel the pain now, it has been bothering me for the past 3-4 months ! It makes good sense as giving a swollen joint more space, it certainly reduced the pressure and friction! I am going to rub some diclofanate gel tonight which is a topical NSAIDs, to suppress the inflammation at the joint! It would be a miracle if I can stop this local arthritis which every doctor said arthritis is incurable! Thank you and will let you know.👍👍
❤
Thank you, it helps
What if it hurts when you do it? Is it still ok to do it ?
Amazing! It works! Thank you so much!
Wow thanks for your videos. I’ve been suffering thumb osteoarthritis for about 5 years now. The doctor just gave me NSAIDS which I hate to take. I just stumbled on your channel. I’ve watched 3 hand vids and have just done these exercises. Already my thumbs move more freely. I’ll keep going now and I hope this will make a great improvement. Your explanations are so clear, precise and make perfect sense. It’s very generous that you’re putting these videos out for people to help themselves. Thank you so much 😁
Thank you very much ❤❤
Thanks so much. It's my thumbs that hurt the most
Dr. David, many, many thanks. This works on my basal thumb arthritis. Even after only one application, I had less pain and complete mobility.
If the bone is growing out is this exercise 👍 ok. And thankyou for sharing. Much appreciated.
Good info☺️
I had no idea about this. I was grabbing my thumb and pulling.steady but gentally could actually feel what seemed like a separation or alignment. It has really helped with articulation . Now watching your video I see what I was on the right track, but I never did any gentle manipulation as you demonstrated. Well after adfing that my hand seems even less painful and moves more freely. I have had osteo in thumb for over 14 years. Thank you for all the hand help videos with info.
Would you kindly recommend what kind of neck & shoulder pillow, it is hard to wake up in the morning, being a side sleeper.
Thanks for this advice! I’m just starting, and my joints feel better and less stiffness.🙏🏾
