Thanks ❤
I started doing the exercises while watching the video and the pain is already decreasing and getting easier to bend. I will continue to do these exercises everyday. Thank you both so much! Life saver
same here
Hey guys. Just wanted to say a big thank you for this video. I have been suffering with trigger finger for months now and these exercises and information you have shared have really helped! Amazing. It is SO depressing as I am a drummer and musician and use my hands all the time and it was really getting me down. Great work. Will keep on with the exercises.
How is your progress?
What no shound
Massaging the sore spot at the base of the finger while I watched the rest of the video had an almost instant effect. Thank you so much!
O
Love the professionalism of these two guys. Their recommended method by the way produced near instant effect on my thumb.
Can't express how much I appreciate the information that you share with us! Already started working on my trigger finger and it's making a difference. I didn't even know what to call it before watching this. Id love to see a video on what you know about chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain.
Great video. The pulley and knot demonstration was super helpful! Working in a kitchen has been stressing my ring fingers quite a bit, so those exercises are a godsend.
I love your channel! I have joint and back issues and every time I use your instruction it helps immediately, Thank you!
Oh wow! I was suffering trigger thumb for the first time ever. I was 3 weeks in and it was becoming very painful. I splinted it for 3 days but it still hurt. I watched this 2 days ago... I've been doing the exercise, massaging, and ACV you recommended... It was still popping and hurting this morning but it just stopped popping! 👐👍👍👍 Still hurts a little bit but I have my thumb back! So happy I found you guys!
get some grip trainers
@@jamescheddar4896 how to use ACV
Thank you guys. You are the best! I have trigger finger due to my job as a software engineer and I cannot see a therapist due to Covid-19 lock down. Watching your videos has helped me to heal my hand and be able to work back again. I usually get the pain due to the mouse on the index and middle base fingers.
You guys are absolutely amazing. I've had trigger finger for a few years now and it got really bad, and I just did everything that you talked about and it released it within minutes thank you so much!
I woke up today with trigger thumb and it improved with one set of these exercises
Thanks so much...Really felt better after just one go at these treatments. Truly appreciate it!
Bob and Brad thank you for this wonderful video! I am afraid of taking medicines so this helpful tips bring joy to me. More of this kind, please...
🤣 antivax is what you are too, uneducated is what you are.
You both are the most helpful channel in RUclips, thank you for sharing your expertise so generously!! I've been worried about this, it started a few weeks ago and it's really painful! I will do all these exercises!
Just found you guys. Glad I did. I’ve got a sister who is healing from a dog bite on her hand, a husband who suffers with some trigger finger and I’ve got some arthritis. All good info in these videos.
Great advice, working the tender spots worked for my trigger fingers, great find for me on the internet. Bob & Brad explain things really well.
I had an injury....a dropped finger.... it took two years in a cast to heal and I am a pianist! But God is good and now I am going great!😃
Gretta Lemabouchou same!
Fck same, i guess this is how us pianist have problems with😂😂
Treat yourself like a hand athlete. This means treating your hands with heat and ice as well as exercise and days off.
Hi
@@heyyou5189 w
I started a new job that’s physically demanding and my dominant hand started locking 2 fingers, mainly in the morning. I was terrified. After watching this video and seeing that there’s nothing to be worried about, I feel so much better. Thank u!
How is your hand a year later?
Update plz
@@patrickryan256 I’ve been taking care of my hands and it hasn’t been an issue since this video. Occasionally, it’ll be stiff in the morning but I’m not worried, cause sometimes I forget lol I’m also hydrating and consuming joint-friendly supplements.
I followed all your advice and had relief and improvement after 24 hours. I was hopeless and in pain yesterday Thanks so much🙏
Thank you Bob and Brad will try the tips i’ve learned from you
Thanks guys!! Have had a trigger finger for 1 year. Sometimes it would lock so tight I didn’t think I could release it! You just solved my problem.🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you help me
I thank God for both of you...
This video helps me self-diagnose the pain in my middle finger.
God bless you more!
I just want to say thanks to Mr. Bob & Brad. I came across your video last night while dealing with a trigger thumb. I followed your advice on trigger point isolation, cross fiber massage & stretching of the affected finger. I was mainly doing conservative treatment with Ice pack & soaking my hand in warm water. I also used Kinesiotape & wrist brace for support but everything that I’ve been doing had very minimal effect in decreasing my pain. Today, after following the treatment in your video I was able to feel significant decrease in my pain level. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & may God continue to bless you both.
You guys are the greatest! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
thank you it really helps. I had to have surgery for one of my fingers it hurt so bad now i have other fingers that are locking. thank you this does help .
Just discovered this advice for the first time and am already beginning to feel a difference👍🏾
THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!! HOLY COW I HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE AND THIS HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH. It got worse recently so i looked up ways to help .... you guys are awesome.
Will try this for my 85 yr old mom living in assisted living. Thanks!
I have it right hand ring finger. Started happening as my psoriatic arthritis became worse. Super appreciative of this video 👍
Flying Lap Productions did it work?
I am an artist, drawing and painting as caused me both trigger finger and also I have Meridian nerve pain -- I have seen countless chiropractors and acupuncturists with very little results, but YOUr videos on these two problems have helped me incredibly!! THANK YOU!!!!
You both are such a blessing! Grateful! 🥰🤗
Holy moly, this helped a lot! Thankyou.
Thank you Bob and Brad, I believed your tips on trigger finger really helps to ease the pain on my left middle finger.
I'm amazed, tried the exercises and it works almost immediately. Thanks! I'll keep doing this, it's just so easy to be true but it work .
Thank you so much!! I just started learning how to play golf with my dad and it's given me pretty bad trigger finger on my pinky, it's insane how much these exercises are helping
I injured my finger several months ago. I feel clicking and pain when I try to close my hand. And I have lost range of motion in that finger. I can raise the finger but have issues closing it. A doctor described the problem exactly like you did. But when I asked about exercises, he said there weren’t any that would help. Told me to wait to see if it would get better with time. I did the exercises you suggested while watching the video. I immediately started feeling less pain and have greater range of motion in that finger! Thank you! I will do these exercises daily. I’ve also been watching your back videos and plan on trying the stretching techniques you recommend. I wish I had found your RUclips site before today! Awesome content!
Did your finger got flexible with these exercises. ...plz tell me I'm suffering from this disease and its really painful for me ...kindly reply my comment. ..thank you plz🙏🙏
Thanks guys. Im a worn out 65 year old retired vet. I spent my life treating my body like an amusement park. My body is paying me back for the sins of my youth. Lots of good info from you guys on my many issues I am trying to live with. Trigger finger, torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis, sciatic nerve pain, etc. Keep up the good work.
Appreciate your service man
I was about to make an appointment to have a cortisone shot in my ring finger ...I had a cortisone shot once before..but I forgot which finger.. then I googled trigger finger and this video came up. I started doing the exercises while watching and the exercises are working! I can actually start moving my finger. Thanks guys!!!
I’ve been seeing a PT who advised nothing other than massaging the base of the finger. So happy to have found this video with actual exercises to help! You guys are great.
Thank you for the advice. I will try your suggestions.
I'm glad I found your video. It has really helped my trigger finger in the thumb and ring finger. I definitely do not want surgery. I still suffer from the last surgery I got on my foot. also have you seen the research on baking soda helping with inflammation?
I was on two weeks sick leave because of trigger finger and I still had pain from it. This helped immediately and no more clicking or pain. Thank you
Which exercise helped you the most?
Just diagnosed with trigger fringer in my pinky, found this video and within just following along it is awesome. Going to do this everyday. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I just had my right hand operated for carpal tunnel release and my middle finger got stiff today and I do not want it to be that way forever. When I pressed on the soft spot with my left thumb I was able bend all my right fingers easily. Stay blessed! :-)
I love you guys. I'm getting damn old and I find myself needing remedies a lot more these days... I frequently end up on your videos, and they almost always help me. After all you've done for me subscribing is the least I can do. THANK YOU GUYS.
Thanks for this video. I had trigger finger on my ring finger and doing the cross massage at the base was painful at first but several months later I'm back to normal.
Excellent video. Thank you for your knowledge guys!!
You guys are so real. I love you. I got Triggerfinger after I bought my last bike. My new bike has a curved handlebar that does not let me have a full grip on it. I have been taking Apple Ceder Vinegar and doing the exercises even before I saw your video. it works. Keep up our good work.
I have found that the massage shown in this video helps. In addition, I have an inversion table, and massaging the trigger finger WHILE INVERTED is a HUGE help, and even seems to have cured the problem. It probably gets more natural lubricants into the sheath.
Thank you so much for doing this video. It really was informative and helpful, and alleviated a lot of my anxiety about having trigger finger.
thanks for a very helpful info. ill be doing it now. thanks a lot guys
Thank you for this great video. Will try those methods.
Helped a lot! Thank you! I thought this vid was really old, apparently not 😅 thank you, again!
Holy shit the third exercise literally helped so much… these guys are wizards, thank you!!!!!
bob and brad literally gives me life specially whenever I’m in so much pain
Thanks guys I've developed trigger finger from work a lot of screwing, tightening and hard gripping caused it and your exercises help thanks for the stiff you post
Started these exercises yesterday and have already noticed a massive difference. Thank you guys so much for this!
Our pleasure!
Thanks gentlemen. Great info.
I'm a Veterinary Technician and gripping dog leases, having dogs yank me around has made this brutal for me! Also back in the day, we "scruffed" cats for restraint. Trigger finger was a huge problem. Thanks for this!
Thanks you guys.I look for your advices every time I have a problem. They always help. Hope, these exercises will help these time with my trigger fingers.
Thank you! Worried I'd have to give up guitar. Feeling hopeful now!
I'm a 50 year old touring and studio drummer...thumb locked up on me a couple of weeks ago after waking up. I figured out what was up with a little self diagnosis and took your advice with great results massaging that tender area by hand. However, I had better results rolling a drumstick over the tender area in various directions with a good amount of pressure. You could use anything cylindrical. A small piece of wood dowel or even a sharpie magic marker would do the same. The advantage is that the hand you're using to massage with won't tire out as quickly and the cylinder is a bit harder than your finger tips so you should be able to go real deep and break up that scar tissue more effectively. I'm guessing it works the same way a hard foam roller would when rolling out an injured muscle in therapy or before a workout. Maybe Bob and Brad could put this theory to task and see if it would be something to recommend. Thanks for the video guys. It was a great help.
Thank you for sharing your experience, conjectures, and suggestions that worked for you! Very helpful.

I am glad it worked out for you. When I had the same, one day, that thumb accidentally hit against counter èdge and the issue got bigger.
About 9-12 months, I had surgery.
Today, I found ASTR treatment.

Hi there. I too am a fellow drummer. A few years older than you. My ring finger on left hand is a mess. Can't even manipulate drum stick unless i use traditial grip which is not my go to grip. Thanks for the info. Did your trigger finger get better ? Mine has been two months and still very painful and stiff. Thanks.
Me too, a drummer. My first trigger finger happened back in 2010. The Japanese Dr. advised to have radio therapy, had my finger run thru a machine with electricity. A couple months having the treatment frequently and it was healed. Lately, I did quite some DIY wood works. As I still cut the wood manually. And 2 fingers on both hand became trigger. I stopped the DIY lately, not to torture the fingers any further. But then I just can't stop drumming! It's really frustrating. Thanks for your advise, let me try them all. Thanks
You pretty much explained the gua sha method, it's pretty great 😁 look it up, fellow musician here as well!
This is so cool! I have been dealing with a trigger thumb for a few weeks now. I turned on my iPad and went to RUclips and this was one of the first videos I saw. How awesome was that! Thank you so much for this video! It has already helped!
Just did these few exercises and I have some relief already... I will do them 2 or three times a day thanks
I've got trigger finger in my thumb, I found the sensitive spot at the base of thumb, I was messaging that area as I watched the video, it helped. I'll be doing this everyday Thanks guys
I have it in my thumb too! The top joint can't move up.. makes opening things difficult!
Me too. I thought I was supposed to keep a splint on at all times. It's getting uncomfortable. And I just saw this video. I'll be doing the exercises and rub everyday. I hope this helps me. Because with this damn pandemic, I can't see a doctor right now.
Mines been about 6 months. I'm a meat cutter makes ripping open boxes hard. I can hardly tie my shoe
Rickoh75 ..... Ya my right thumb is like that it pops up or down! It hurts! I have a splent on my hand! It makes it hard to write or text too! ✋✊👍👊😷
Its been a month have trigger finger..its way too painful, and all these physios are been suggested. I am doing and hoping to get back to normal. Glad that theses videos are so accurate and helpful.
Been going through all your videos and low and behold another problem area for me! Thank you so much!
I’m glad I found this video! Going to try all of these methods to see if it helps
Did they work
I too had middle finger left hand and doing those exercises it took me almost 10 months to finally cure it . Great info guys, just be patient and it will work out.
Thank you so very much for this information. I've had trigger finger for about 6 months now, I did your hand exercises only twice and I definitely see a difference. I will continue to work out that "knot"on my tendion. Again thank you.. now I'm going to watch your video on minicual tear., 😊
Thank you for sharing that very informative on how to do it.. Love you guys and God bless.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i was doing that excersie while watching the rest of the vid and its already smooth lmao nice
Been waking up with this locking sensation for the last two days.. never had it before.. feel like I understand what it is and what to do moving forward now thanks
Omg! Me too.. my finger is locking painfully everytime i woke up .. its been a week and im freaking out
ME TOO! Started a few months ago... I'm NOT happy with this.. Tight left hand, aches and the middle finger locking...Tight wrists also..
@@iGrooveable did you ever get a solution?
Am going to try this immediately. Thanks so much.
Well done guys! I’m going to start this today and see about my progress. Painful to friction it today but going to stick with it
This was great, I was having the same issues with my ring finger on my left hand and it helped a ton!
Same
Plz tell me did it really helps you and how much you recover from this exercise plz kindly reply me ....i m suffering from this pain over 8 months 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve been having this problem for months now. I’ve been to a Physio and splinted it and tried many other things. After finding the tender spot and massaging it for 30 seconds I was able to move my middle finger without pain for the first time in months. I’m gonna keep doing this on a daily basis and hopefully I can see some long term progress. Thanks Bob and Brad 👍
Isn't it sad we live in a world where doctors make you go throw all these useless treatments when something so simple can make a huge improvement.
How is your trigger finger now? Has these exercises helped you? Im just trying to avoid a cortisone shot😱 It’s been a month and a half for me🤦🏻♀️
Thank you! I just started playing guitar and started to get trigger finger on my ring finger. I can feel the knuckle/palm massage and backbends already helping the pain and going to try the rubber band too.
Thanks for the info, I’m going to give these a try!
Literally amazing, this freakin helped a lot. Yall are awesome thank you so much!
These guys are amazing my trigger finger is already improving what the hell
Which exercises have helped you the most do you think?
Thank you both for sharing. I have just developed the problem on my pinkie finger and will now do the excercise and pressing att base of the pinkie. really appreciate it and thank you.
great video, thanks for taking the time to help us.
This video made me feel better. I thought my finger needs some surgery and it doesn't! Thank you Mr. Bob and Brad 😄
I have trigger finger also in my middle finger and sometimes it locks in the morning and really hurts. The exercises in this video definitely help to provide immediate short term relief - I don't know about a permanent cure though. I also found a lot of relief using a stress ball. you know one of those 5cm diameter balls which you press to reduce stress. the regular pressing and releasing must be similar to using the elastic band but much more practical to exercise while doing something else like studying or typing with one hand. I discovered avoiding to sleep on the hand/arm of the effected finger also helps. Try to stay relaxed as any form of anxiety seems to make my finger pain flare up somehow. General exercise (even not involving your fingers) also seems to help - perhaps that is why it hurts most when waking up -due to the inactivity.
Any updates on new methods or anything?
You two are amazing. Thank you so much!
Great finger-exercises video - i'm already feeling much better by following these exercises while watching this video - thanks so much for sharing these amazing exercises!
I found that taking a daily vitamin has helped more than I expected.
I have decades of abusing my hands with industrial work.
witch vitamins did you take?

Great video! have had this on my right ring finger for a couple of years and have been doing some of similar exercises on my own but will definitely incorporate yours! Also, just something from from a person who is blind, would be good if you could verbally describe the exercises so those of us who cannot see the screen can get a better understanding thanks for listening to my feedback and thanks for a great video! I will definitely be subscribing
Hello, by the german pain therapeut Liebscher & Bracht You can find also very helpful information to trigger Finger ( in german language : Schnappfinger).
My middle digit finger has been feeling this way for the past 4 yrs it started after 6 mo from surgery for a broken hand. Have been doing finger stretching workout every morning but have the feeling your talking about . I will try these exercises plus what I’ve been doing. Thanks so much.
Thanks guys, amazingly helpful video. God bless you both.
Along with these great exercises I drink "golden milk' twice a day. I use fresh turmeric root and ginger and the hot drink went to the problem spot immediately and I've been healing nicely ever since. :)
I have never heard of this before. Sounds helpful!!
I’m 21 and I had it in both of my hands. It started with my index then moved to my middle finger. Now I only have it in one hand not sure why it went away but I still have it in one hand and it’s so embarrassing when I have my hand closed trying to open my hand first thing that goes up is the middle finger and I can’t control or slow the motion either. Going to try these excercises
Is it the hand you hold your phone in? Mine is
Thanks for the info Bob & Brad!
Thanks for this video. I wasn't sure if I should press on that little knot or not. Thanks for your guidance.
Oh my! Developed trigger finger about 3 months ago and of course steadily getting worse. Doing your exercises as I watched your video is already relieving discomfort. Never even knew the base of my finger was sore until y’all mentioned it! Thank you!!
Thank you! Between using a finger sleeve at night and these exercises I canceled my appointment with hand surgeon for release. Where do I send the check 👍
George Rae good job 👍, I’m having this problem now 😞
hey George which finger sleeve do you use? Thanks
I literally started the stretch and massaging the tendon as suggested last night and my thumb is feeling a lot better today.
Thanks a lot to ultimate pair...people like you make this world a better place. That was too painful, your suggested exercises relieved it in an hour...please suggest do we need to keep this in straight position so that it won't lock again. You saved us a hospital visit in COVID time... god bless both of you 🙂
That's so weird. I never knew if I applied pressure to that part my pinky would go down smoother. Cheers
It the same thing with my pinky that’s why I came here
