How to do this exercise:

Place the back of the hand downwards and grab the first metacarpal bone (= first bone attached to the thumbbase joint) with the fingers of the other hand and bend (rotate) the thumb inwards to the startposition. Apply careful pressure directed towards the thumbbase-joint (thumb saddle joint) and move (rotate) the thumb outwards to the normal position (open hand) while one exhales.

Move back to the startposition and inhale again. Repeat this several times and gradually increase the pressure but adjust (pressure force, movement) in case it is too uncomfortable or painful.

Do the same with the other thumbbase (thumb saddle) joint.

Time required: approx. 30 seconds
