Do you feel pain near the base of your thumb while lifting a child, opening jars, or using your phone? Does twisting your wrist or gripping objects make the pain worse? Have you noticed swelling around your thumb? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for thumb and wrist pain? You may be suffering from De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Why Does De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Occur?
This condition develops when the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist become irritated due to repetitive movements. It is commonly seen in new mothers, office workers, mobile phone users, and people performing repetitive hand activities.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain, improving tendon movement, and restoring hand function. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Gentle tendon gliding exercises
β’ Thumb and wrist mobility exercises
β’ Strengthening exercises as pain improves
β’ Splinting advice when appropriate
β’ Ergonomic and activity modification
What You Can Try at Home
Avoid repetitive thumb movements, take regular breaks during hand-intensive tasks, use both hands while lifting, apply ice if recommended, and follow your exercise program consistently.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy to reduce thumb pain, restore wrist function, and help you return to everyday activities comfortably.
