As someone who popped a bone into those ligaments a few years ago (dislocated thumb at the wrist) this is similar to a stretch I do since then.
Thumb on top of my fingers (like a fist with the thumb scooted to the top) and slow smooth movements to the edge of the range of motion. Don't stretch to pain but to where tension starts. Which will be BEFORE pain.
I would recommend against following this image for sure, it looks dangerous
I did it slowly and it felt wrong enough that I know it would fuck my shit up if I did it quickly
I wouldn't dare follow the picture
And honestly taking medical advise from strangers online is usually a bad idea
Err on the side of caution, if a stretch hurts it's not a good idea to push that hard
I do highly recommend this channel at flexibility though
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
