Un-Sprained - A podcast by Dr. Lisa Brin

Do you have a stiff tight finger that is possibly bulbous or just ugly as all get out?! This week of Un-Sprained we focus on what is happening beneath the skin to give you a birds eye view of the problem (and the solution). On this episode I offer 3 active steps that you can use to mobilize and add flexibility to an old healed rigid finger. I also ensure you have many tricks for a new hot (but stiff) finger that doesn't qualify for aggressive mobility self-care. We hit up the big details to save you time and add a quicker return to your favorite sport. Join me to bump up your self-care strategy, with some basic finger joint anatomy, and easy to learn scar tissue and injury healing understandings. Regardless of where you are on your prevention or healing pathway, join me to ensure that your finger makes progress in the right direction. We also hit up: >> Finger capsule injuries >> What needs stretched what needs left alone >> Why a new hot puffy finger feels stiff >> Why an old healed injury feels stiff >> What scar tissue mobility work will help >> What to observe and what to avoid >> Stiffness due to physiological fluid >> Research on "adhesions" in the hand >> And much more! Regardless of if you are wanting to learn about new or healed old injuries, this is a must listen episode with a TON to learn.
