- Michelle, Hand Expert and founder of Virtual Hand Care, shows you her Top 3 Trigger Finger Exercises to help stop the triggering, catching, or locking of your finger.
These trigger finger exercises will work on stretching the finger to prevent joint stiffness, gliding the FDP (Flexor Digitorum Profundus) tendon, and stretching the A1 pulley with FDP isometric contractions.
Trigger finger is a very common hand condition that can greatly impact the functional use of your hand with almost ALL daily activities. By using a combination of splinting, stretches, and isometric exercises you can potentially eliminate your trigger finger.
Keep in mind, it is important to see a Hand Doctor if you suspect trigger finger so you can get a proper diagnosis and get on the right path to treating your trigger finger. Unfortunately, there are 4 grade levels of Trigger Finger so results can vary greatly. (see Disclaimer below)

The exercise at 3:36 is one of the exercises that I did through experimentation and found it to be the best exercise for relieving and improving my trigger finger condition. Pulling the finger back straight is the key to make this exercise painless. I'm so glad that it turned out to be an exercise recommender by a hand expert.
I havent tried yet or even watches yet but im 30 years old and jesus its so painful. Started out as carpel tunnel a few years ago but i will be back to comment if it helped thanks
Omg old if I did the 1st exercise correctly I'm a go and try again but my ring finger it really helped, the exercise 2 and 3 definitely helped!!! I even have a tingling feeling afterwards but a good one, not the painful numb kind..more like a relief
PAIN
Q
My doctor told me there is nothing I could do about my trigger finger. A quick search on RUclips and I found this video. Literally within five minutes over half of the trigger movement was relieved. Wow. I’m gonna be doing these daily.
does your doctor quack? Every doctor of medicine should know that there are many approaches to treatment of trigger finger. Non-invasive such as exercise always a good way to start.
Thanks, I'm 70 and construction worker.Ive swung a hammer millions oof times and that has led to right hand index locking
I'm trying your techniques to avoid costly doctor visits, no insurance, and below poverty level. Appreciate you !
I’ve had two steroid injections in as many years and trigger finger keeps coming back. I’ve been offered surgery as the next option but I’m glad I’ve found these videos before I’ve had this done. Thanks
Hi Michelle, I am a full-time manual wheelchair user and have had issues in the past with moderate carpal tunnel discomfort. Recently, I started feeling more trigger finger in my pointer fingers (both hands) and I came across your video today. The last two exercises really isolated the area I've been feeling. Thank you so much for your clear explanations of what to do!
Thank you for your detailed explanation on the exercises for trigger finger, very useful and helpful!
I scheduled another cortisone injection because one finger was starting to flare up. I tried the exercises just once- especially the third one, and my pain and stiffness are nearly gone. I canceled the cortisone injection. I'm so glad there are exercises. I've had this problem for several years and never knew there was hand therapy for it. I use my hands a lot so I am going to do these exercises every day as a prevention. Thank you!
I really like it how you explained isometric help by bowing the pulley. It wouldn't have made sense to me without an explanation. Thank you!
Thank dear Michelle, for your generosity n kindness to share
Thank you for these thorough exercises. They will, no doubt, help me during my working day. Thanks 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video!!!! It's amazing how my trigger fingers are now actually functioning quite well.

You're very helpful as always. Thanks!
I did them all and I feel so much better! Thank you
That's really amazing!!! Many thanks for the great video!!!
Very good. She describes the same things my doctor describes. Also goes beyond the exercise my doctor gave.
I am so happy to have found this video. My left middle finger has had me in tears because of typing, popping, and a locking up. I am desperately trying anything before consulting a surgeon. I found your exercises and I will be applying them throughout the day, I hope to have relief. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent! I am 76 years old, and have felt this for a couple months. One serious run through the three exercises has already helped.

Very very helpful to us
Had a trigger finger dislociation about a month ago. Less than 5 weeks. I found this channel a day after and the videos have been great. Especially the "dip blocker" exercise which greatly helps with stiffness and regaining flexibility and mobility of the finger. I have to mention the "why is my finger still swollen" video which I found really helpful.
Very informative and well explained video. Thank you.
Wow it's like a miracle 😳 I can use it so much better. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all your videos, can bend fingers a lot better, need a little more help with ring and little finger as these were pinned and not healing very well, was on antibiotics for three weeks. Your videos are the most help I have received! Thank you!
Thank you for all your help!!! GOD Bless you!!!!!
You are so welcome!
I like this video...makes sense therefore it is empowering and also doable... appreciate the explanation. Looking forward to making my fingers strong and flexible...
Thanks for sharing that fingers excercises . Very good and easy . After doing that I feel great video. 🌷
wow these worked wonders for me
Thank you so much for this! My trigger fingers were stiff and painful but these exercises significantly reduced it, even after one time. Thank you!
If your doctor says that it's okay, add muscle development on top of the stretches. That knocked my serious thumb and finger issue completely out of the park.
She probably mentions it in other videos, or this one. I have not watched the whole thing yet.
Thank you Michelle, God bless you for sharing these wonderful simple stretches my trigger middle finger is smoother will try everyday.
It's works for me, fantastic. Thank you very much❤
Instant relief on the first try! thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you for posting, it REALLY helped. I had trigger finger surgery and my joints kept stifling up. These exercises loosen them
I’ll try thanks
I had both hand middle finger triggers n I did this exercise it's reallly helpful.
Thanks.
First of all thanks indeed for sharing. I am doing the same as per your demo and I feel relieved on my trigger finger on my right index finger. I am certain the 3 processes will be very helpful to me.
Michelle, you are amazing thank you so much. It does help my pain…… you got a new subscriber.
My left hand ingury was from a 18 hole golf day . Middle finger triggered . These excercises work great, along with warm water soaks with magnesium salts. Thanks so much.
Tanx so much doc for guiding us dis triger finger exercise.it helps me a lot.im sufering my triger finger for almost a month now the pain is tolerable i still go wid the house cores but seem uncomfortable.tanx so much.feel better now
I was instructed by my Dr. To look up trigger finger therapy. I am trying your therapy for trigger finger. Stretches are helping. I am very sore however I will continue. Seems to help. I've been doing hot water therapy stretches. With your video I feel progress.
Every effective exercise. It's like a magic.
Very effective exercises - I felt instant relief after the first dip & pip stretch. Thanks so much for sharing, will practice these ❤
I feel relief when I tried this excercise.
Hi hi. I tried all three and they worked beautifullly... Did it once for the day and felt the difference immediately after.... Thnk you for sharing it's much appreciated!
have both middle fingers triggering and the video was extremely helpful thank you
These exercises REALLY helped! Wow! After one session, my middle finger super loosened up = the “flip” didn’t even occur for a while afterwards! Here’s to at least slowing this down! Thank You~!
Tq for sharing knowledge n how to.exercise trigger finger
Excellent
I tried the three exercises with you and the triggering stopped. I will continue the exercises until its gone. Bless you, Jan
Love u ❤ u r da Best…Thank you ❤
Been doing the exercises three days and it seems to be helping. Less pain and locking.
Another tip is to locate the pain in the finger that locks.On the other hand massage the finger that relates to the problem finger on your other hand.You will find the pain goes away.
Thank❤
I loved your presentation, the exs are very helpful! God bless!
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
Doing the exercises while watching this video, instantly gave relief to my little finger. Was always in pain due to my trigger little finger. Thanks for sharing these exercises.
Hi Felmar. I too have a clicking little finger. Thought I was the only one. I can’t think how this happened to my little finger- it doesn’t get over used. Have you found relief over the past month?
Cheers
@@scottm3055 I was trying to figure out why my little finger was triggering. In observing my day-to-day activities, I discovered I use this finger to support my phone when texting. I suspect that is what is causing my issue.
Thank you for sharing this. I canceled my appt worth a surgeon this really helped me.
tnx a lot
진짜 효과가 있는 것 같아요! 감사합니다 꾸벅!! 397번째 좋아요를 누르게 되었네요 ^^
Thanks!
You are welcome and Thank you so much for the Super thanks!
thanks, m sharing this to my dad
excellent
Thank you so much for this advices , I have so much pain in my middle finger and this exercises are very helpful 🙏
This feels incredible. I am young but my work was giving me trigger finger and I was starting to imagine myself having completely locked joints but this has instantly relieved it. Hopefully after some time it may cure it
same, I'm just 23 and teaching is hard, specially in my location
If I were you I will ti find another job if possible because once you start having the Trigger fingers it won't stop I have this for a couple of years have try all exercises and it does gelp fir a while but it keeps coming back until I stopped doing the same job , next is the injections and then surgery said it may help 50% with made me cry, some people is okay with surgery but other like me Don't.
Keep trying the exercises I really thank this person for helping us all and feel some relief for a while..,good luck to you all blessings.
i sure hope these exercises help...willing to give it a try
I hope so too! Keep us updated!
wow. it works for me.
Thank you for your video
I went to a top hand Md . He offered injection and surgery in one year if it Doesn’t work. I told him I wanted to do OT and splint.
I got a splint and the OT looked at me weird and said there’s no OT for trigger finger and the dr did not put an order in.
I’m also an amputee which makes it more complicated. I’m adapting your instructions
Well, I worked for 15 years as a medical interpreter and I’ve seen it done several times.
Just to say if it wasn’t for professionals like you on RUclips it would be very difficult
God bless you
My hand doctor offered injection on the left middle finger, which I decided to accept, but when my right middle finger started triggering, I opted to see a hand therapist. Exercises have been slowing thing progression down but still triggering, so I cam here.
Prior to this, I was seeing a physical therapist for other stuff, and she said she didn't know anything about hands, so I'm guessing that's its own specialty, which might be why the OT said nothing to be done.
That third exercise really did the trick. Right away.
