Isolated thumb MP-joint extensor stretch
- Hold your hand in front of you, and turn your hand so your little finger faces down and your thumb faces up. (Your hand should be in the position used for shaking someone's hand.) You may also rest your hand on a flat surface.
- Use the fingers on your other hand to bend your thumb down at the point where your thumb connects to your palm.
- Hold for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
- Repeat 2 to 4 times.
- It's a good idea to repeat these steps with your other hand.
