The WORST Exercise for Trigger Finger. Do THIS Instead.

STOP squeezing or gripping a ball if you you have Trigger finger or trigger thumb. This is a very common exercise that is recommended for trigger finger. Yet there is NO evidence to prove repetitive gripping of a ball is an effective exercise to heal trigger fingers. However, there is an exercise with proven results.
👉In this video, Michelle will demonstrate the A1 pulley stretch, the trigger finger exercise you should be doing instead. The A1 pulley stretch is performed by applying an isometric contraction to the tip of your locking or catching finger. Watch the video now to learn how to add this exercise to your trigger finger treatment program!
Remember it is important to see a Hand Doctor if you suspect trigger finger or trigger thumb so you can get a proper diagnosis and get on the right treatment path to treating your injury. (See Disclaimer below)

Great video. Before I started watching your channel I had terrible hand pain and triggering fingers. Could not hold a hammer or work at all. Now after a long time of following your videos and exercising my fingers correctly I am pain free and both hands working as they should. No more trigger fingers and hand pain is eliminated. Thanks for all the information that doctors refuse to give. No surgery or cortizone shots and my hands are perfect thanks to your videos.

I first saw you on the video that explained the differences between trigger finger and dupuytren contraction. Thanks for steering those with trigger finger to an exercise that should help. I guess the natural tendency of those with trigger finger would be to curl and flex the irritated joint area. Hopefully, if they find and see your video, those with trigger finger will no longer mistakenly do inappropriate flexing exercises that could further inflame the already injured area(s). I'll continue to look for more of your informative videos on the care and treatment of trigger finger symptoms. My thanks, again, for steering me in a direction that will help, rather than aggravate such an injury. G'day to you...!

I had trigger thumbs, first in the left and 2 years later in the right. They both resolved after about 6 months. Very painful times. I prevented myself from having the thumbs trigger by merely holding a silicone ball loosely. Squeezing would give excruciating pain. I wish I had your videos back when my problem was acute. Now, the thumb joints are frequently painful. One of your other videos about stretching for arthritis in the thumb joints has been very helpful. Thank you so much for your advice. I hope your videos can help many other people.

As for the trigger finger exercice you are showing in this video, I am grateful for that too. I had a little surgery for a trigger thumb few years ago.

Hello, I just discovered your channel. I've been having a persistent issue with my ring and pinky fingers for the past 6 months, where they are stiff and want to automatically curl inwards. I went to see a physiotherapist for a few sessions, and he gave me some strengthening exercises to do at home. They help, but they are more general arm strengthening (in order to strengthen the tendons), and they don't really specifically address the issues in my fingers. Since it's the ring and pinky fingers, should I be doing the pulley stretch on both fingers at the same time, or one at a time? Thanks

@VirtualHandCare That thing you do with wash-cloth - is that also good for POST trigger-surgery (of middle-finger? It was not clarified). Also would use of O-ring at bedtime enhance surgical-healing - and would it fit my quite-short Mid-finger? Also, now that you warned against squeezing a ball (thanks!), i'm concerned about Flexing-exercises recommended by the surgeon. Shall i limit it to "extending" but WITHOUT the accompanying "flexing"?

Developed trigger finger in ring finger. Had very tight wedding ring removed and assumed problem would gradually go. It didn't, so starting ball gripping which appeared go give some immediate relief, but problem and severity seemed to be getting worse not better. Stopped the ball gripping, splint on overnight, trying some of your stretches, and problem thankfully appears to be rapidly improving. Thanks again. PS perhaps a video on when it is time to get your ring cut off, and very importantly how (in UK drs don't do it, huge waiting in a&e who don't want you there for sore finger, jewellers stopped doing it, recommended solution seems to be go to fire station. It's crazy. I eventually found a jeweller who still did it after hours of visits)

I have tried the stretches, and it works but not that great in my case. I am in Canada and not getting any help from anyone, my family doctor tells me that I will see a hand surgeon only when I cannot move the finger at all which is not the case yet; one of the benefits of free healthcare. I started to use the ball on my own and what I do is squeeze, hold for a few seconds, and release slowly. It helps temporarily. My hand hurts and there is nothing I can do but to accept that. I also find that doing the dishes with hot water and squeezing the water out of the dishrag also helps with pain and mobility. There is something more extreme I do with the ball: I make a fist with it in my bad hand and punch a bag; that increases mobility even more. I do not know what you think about these things I do doc; I am not an orangutan, however.

I will take your advice into account. However, I have been squeezing with 'plasticine' putty for the last 2 months, and I noticed my trigger finger has improved. I also do the isometric exercise you talked about here, and other 'exercises' you recommend in another video. I started these earlier than my squeezing exercises. I remember starting squeezing, because I was afraid of losing muscle strength in my hand. Maybe I will do a little bit less squeezing, but I guess not all trigger fingers react the same to certain remedies. Btw. the way I judge improvement : I can squeeze my fist completely 4 to 5 times before eventually the finger triggers. Before that, I would not attempt to squeeze my fist, because I could get a painful trigger episode immediately.

You are right there are different grades of trigger finger and if the putty or ball is very hard it may provide more of an isometric contraction rather than repetitive squeeze. But I am glad to hear you found a way to help!
