THREE thumb strengthening exercises with the Theraband Flexbar! If you have pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, or other conditions of the hand that make it difficult to perform well in your sport or even difficult to carry out your daily tasks I'd encourage you to try them! I'll show you thumb strengthening for the flexion, abduction, and adduction movements.

Thumb strength exercises with the Flexbar are excellent for highlevel Gamers, Brazilian JiuJitsu athletes, rock climbers, CrossFit athletes, or anyone who relies on grip strength to perform well in their sport. If you've had a hand or wrist injury, they're also helping to strengthen the muscles of the thumb and hand.

I use the green Theraband Flexbar in the video which provides a medium level of resistance. Depending on where you are in the rehab process or how strong your thumb is, you can use the blue Flexbar which is heavy resistance, or the red Flexbar which is light resistance. Other companies also make similar pieces of equipment that provide a yellow Flexbar alternative that is extralight. I would suggest using the Theraband Flexbar and not the alternatives, when possible.
