Thumb problems, also known as de Quervain’s Syndrome, can stem from any number of repetitive tasks such as grasping and gripping objects, playing video games, typing on a keyboard and text messaging.
The problems start in these thin muscles just below the wrist crease and into the base of the thumb.
Because these muscles below the wrist are so thin and next to bone, let’s use the soft roller for therapy in this area. Begin by finding soreness in this area using the circulatory massage technique. When soreness is found, use the trigger point therapy to hold the sore spot while you move your hand at the wrist to create a sense of useful pain.
Next, move the center ball to the base of the thumb and find any sore spots. Again use the trigger point technique by pressing into the spot and move your thumb in circles. Explore different angles into the fleshy portion of your thumb and find the right movement to use while using the trigger point therapy. Go slow at first in order to find where painful muscles are. Thumb health is vitally important in general hand use, so take your time and enjoy getting to know your muscle tissue in this area. |
