DO NOT DO THIS fucking hell. Just nearly broke my thumb ligament. That did not feel good. Do not be an idiot, like me.
I tried and it didn't work. 🙁
Momma didn't raise no quitter. Do it again bud. We believe in you.
(Don't do it you fuck)
I'm doing it, it feels mildly uncomfortable but there's no breaking of anything
Just nearly broke my thumb ligament.
that is literally what the post said would happen
This is a real life infohazard
Yeah, don't be an idiot like me. It hurts!
If anyone is wondering why this is in a diagram, it isn't showing how to break a ligament, it is demonstrating a type of tendonitis test.
This is a stretch that my doctor told me to do to ease the symptoms of tendonitis in my right thumb/wrist. I guess maybe if I did it fast enough it might be dangerous, but I was literally told to do this often by a medical professional lol
It's certainly possible to injure yourself with your own movements but aside from something already being very wrong somewhere you basically have to be a martial artist capable enough of overcoming protective reflexes in a highly unintuitive and wrong way: If you say, throw a punch but don't have the muscle/nervous control to also stop it you could easily damage something once your joints reach the end of their travel, fascia by default act like a non-newtonian fluid, roughly speaking the more sudden you move the more they resist, avoiding run-away momentum that could cause that kind of damage. You can relax them but generally speaking your body won't let you do it, wont trust the orders you give it, unless you have the control to do it safely -- and that includes a tranquil mind. And if you manage to do it wrong you will do that exactly once, and never again, at least if you have a shred of common sense. At that point you can only hope that you're not actually good at being fast.
alway love to see how the human body can just self destruct, even without tools.
This doesn't work.
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

Isn't that just showing the positive sign for one of the criteria of Mr Q-pants tenosynovitis?
? How?
クイッ (Kui-tsu, Quick)
So rotate it in a quick, snapping fashion to break them ligaments.
I just tried and I can absolutely not make that motion fast.
Please, don't keep trying.
im gonna not try that
