Has anyone in here worked with painful trigger finger?  You dont here much about it as far as a massage therapy protocol.

My dad had this bad!! i used a form gua-sha technique, most familiarized by Graston but without usage of metal, i use a plastic-resin tool by gua-sha orthopedic. he was fine after 5 treatments in 3 weeks, using the exact method daniel suggested! i was not hurtful to him, rather a welcomed mild discomfort in process. trigger finger, much like other conditions is not tought enough in schools, so congrats on getting info for yourself!
