Jammed Finger Treatment for side-to-side Strain

Fix Your Fingers

Another finger injury common in BJJ athletes is a side-to-side pull/strain to the middle finger joint. This will leave you with a swollen, painful, and difficult to bend finger joint. Left long enough, simple tasks like holding your phone or carrying groceries can become painful and difficult.

I like to use this simple mobilization with movement technique to get the joint moving again and getting the pain levels to come down.

Jammed Finger Treatment:
- Slide the upper part of the joint in one direction, and the lower part in the opposite direction.
- Maintain the pressure and bend the finger joint.
- If it feels better, it is the right direction, it's the off direction if it feels worse, repeat but opposite directions for the upper and lower joint.
- Repeat 30 times, 2-3 times a day.

A good first starting block to getting your pin levels down and get your full grip back.
