De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

De Quervain's tenosynovitis is inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, often caused by repetitive gripping or lifting. Physiotherapy helps calm inflammation and restore pain-free wrist and thumb movement.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Rest the wrist from repetitive gripping tasks
  • Use a thumb splint if advised
  • Apply ice to reduce swelling
  • Follow gentle stretching exercises as guided

Don'ts

  • Don't repeat pinching or gripping motions that cause pain
  • Don't lift heavy objects with the affected hand
  • Don't ignore worsening wrist swelling
  • Don't skip prescribed rest periods

When to see a physiotherapist: Consult a doctor if wrist pain is persistent or worsening, and see a physiotherapist for splinting and exercise guidance.
