De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is irritation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It commonly causes pain near the base of the thumb, swelling, tenderness, and pain during gripping, lifting, twisting, or using the mobile.

Physiotherapy for Thumb-Side Wrist Pain and Overuse

De Quervain’s often develops when thumb tendons are repeatedly overloaded. Physiotherapy focuses on reducing tendon irritation, improving mobility, gradually strengthening the thumb/wrist, and correcting movement habits that worsen pain. This reduces symptoms and improves function for work, childcare, and daily tasks.

With consistent rehabilitation, many patients experience reduced pain, improved grip comfort, and better thumb movement.
