De Quervains Tenosynovitis Self Treatment and 5 Physical Therapy Popular Questions with Jun Reyes PT DPT

Filipino Physical Therapist

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the sheath, or synovium, that surrounds the two tendons that run between the wrist and the thumb.

Tendons are strong bands of tissue that attach muscles to bone. In the thumb, they are involved in moving the thumb.

As the synovium swells and thickens, it becomes painful for a person to move their thumb.

It usually occurs after the thumb or wrist has been overused, particularly during repetitive activities that move the thumb away from the wrist.

A sprain or overusing the tendons through repetitive movements of the thumb at work or during sport tend to make the swelling and pain worse.
