    Sagittal Band Injuries Explained And How To Get Motion Back

    We break down why a sagittal band injury causes that painful tendon “pop” over the big knuckles and why getting movement back is the real win. We walk through a safe, step-by-step plan to restore range of motion after healing without re-rupturing the ligament or creating more finger stiffness.  • what the sagittal band is and how it keeps the extensor tendon centered  • why the tendon snaps into a trough with a tear and how inflammation builds  • common causes including trauma and arthritis-related wear  • why you need clinician clearance before pushing range of motion  • the progression from flat fist to MCP bending to full fist  • gentle stretching with light pull and active holds at end range  • why all fingers move together due to interconnected extensor tendons  • how often to practice and why frequency beats intensity  • using cold to settle soreness and reduce irritation  Please like and subscribe to the channel.  Check out my website, carlpetito.com.
