Hi guys I have this condition and its improved over 6 months. I will try the 3x sets, but whats helped me is stretching and doing forearm exercises. Lightly going to a point without too much pain is definitely a very good guide to avoid injury. Thanks all the best
Hi, its really timing and intent. Overall, long term resolution of symptoms will be due to targeted strengthening of the tendons/muscles. However, we find that stretching/muscle work/Graston help with short term pain, and loosening up adhesions within the knotted up, weak muscle fibers. If that was the only treatment, then the effects would be temporary/plateau because "lengthening" isn't the overall goal with this condition; that is when strength and loading are key. Hope that clarifies.
IVE had the DQT for a couple months now- been doing the massages and rubber band stretches. Is it ever going to heal? I have Lost strength on my right hand. I also been wearing a strap and the keno tape
Hi Patty, It does heal, you just need to stick with it and keep challenging yourself with the exercises. Tendon issues can take months and months until symptoms fully resolve. Depending on your job (or day to day tasks) it may prolong the symptoms and/or you may have symptoms off and on even though it is mostly healed up. Usually when patients notice recurring symptoms after it was gone for a period of times, they stopped stretching, strengthening, etc. while still performing tasks that stress those tendons. Hope that makes sense. Hang in there and keep working at it!
I already had the steroid injection and one year later I am still in the same position due to my job and now caring for my babies… start using your less dominant hand more often and choose electric devices to help. I’m scared to get the surgery 4 months pregnant and have a toddler and work from home. Stay safe and always ask for help even get your groceries loaded into your car. Start taking it easy.
@PeakFormHealthCenter I have to laugh, it's a defense mechanism. This really hurts and makes work as a machinist difficult. Thanks for the informative video.

Great to hear! Stick with it!
Thank you so much! ❤
How many times a day I should do these excercises?
1-2x per day :) depends on person/level of symptoms.
I've seen the same videos where the doctors say that that tendon is already too overextended and it doesn't need to be lengthened.
