Skier’s thumb

A skier’s thumb can occur when you fall while your skiing. When you fall, you will try to catch yourself whereby your thumb ends up under your ski pole. In about 10% of the ski accidents we are dealing with a skier’s thumb. Off course, this injury can also occur while playing ball sports.

A skier’s thumb can cause chronic injury. This can occur by repeatedly stretching the ligament. For example, by constantly making the same move. This way the ligaments will stretch out. As a result, the joint will become unstable. This can result, after a period of time, in extensive wear of the thumb.

 

 

In a skier’s thumb, a ligament has been torn or strained on the inside of the thumb. As a result the thumb joint will become unstable. By doing a quick diagnosis, a treatment can be started quickly. This will prevent any aggravation of the injury.

Physiotherapy and skier’s thumb:
The treatment for a skier’s thumb is heavily dependent on the seriousness of the injury. When there is any indication of a fracture, a röntgen photo will be needed. When the ligament has torn or strained, a brace or tape would be used to immobilize the joint. Thereafter, you would need to do some regular exercises.

  • This is the kind of customer-centric business that you are happy exists, especially when you are in pain and can't leave the house. I contacted them via Whatsapp for an emergency session, and Oliver was at my place two hours later. He was friendly, professional and kind. He massaged my twisted ankle, bandaged it, and gave me his recommendations for the next few days.

    Tijdens een Thaise sport massage heeft er een masseur net iets te hard kracht gezet op mijn onderrug (toen zij erover heen liep..), en hierdoor kon ik paar dagen later amper lopen. Gelukkig had Olivier diezelfde dag nog tijd om mij te behandelen met dry-needling. En dit had fantastisch resultaat! Dank voor de goede service en tot snel.

    Nadat ik op zondagochtend wakker werd met een helse pijn in mijn schouder was ik met spoed op zoek naar een fysiotherapeut, die ervaring heeft met dry needling. In mijn zoektocht kwam ik Fysio2You tegen. Ik stuurde Olivier een berichtje en binnen 20 minuten stond hij bij mij op de stoep. Ik heb een hele goede behandeling gehad, die mijn klachten verlichtte. Ik kan Olivier van harte aanbevelen!

    Faidon is a wizard! It was my first “back incident” and I was at a total loss. After an urgent appointment request, Faidon was in touch and at my place within the hour. In another hour my back underwent a complete transformation. Plus he taught me taught me some exercise basics to strengthen everything moving forward. He was also a fun guy to work with and made me feel super comfortable about the whole situation.

    Olivier has helped me out twice now with sudden back pains. Both times he almost immediately replied to my messages through Whatsapp and helped me out at home on very short notice. Besides fast service he also made my back pain issue much more bearable and eventually go away. Couldn't be happier with his service!
