The handbook

'Caring for the Painful Thumb' was written by Jan Albrecht, an Occupational Therapist, and Certified Hand Therapist. The book is designed to be used as a teaching tool for both patients and therapists, written in terminology patients can understand with over 200 color illustrations.

A unique feature of 'Caring for the Painful Thumb' is that it is two books in one: half the book is for the right hand and half for the left to help patients easily visualize mobilization and stabilization techniques. Includes step-by-step instructions for applying kinesiology tape to the thumb and CMC joint. 52 sturdy pages, spiral bound. This durable book can be used at the treatment table, or independently by the patient after the completion of therapy. Pages can be copied for handouts.
