This is SO helpful, especially when you acknowledge it’s not practical to use a splint or brace while caring for a baby. Thank you for so many angles and details!
Great video thank you so much! Went to an OT this week who told me there are no exercises that I should be doing and that I should just keep it in a custom brace 24/7 for three months straight. he seemed bothered that I hadn’t got the Cortizone shot yet and told me that I should just go get the surgery. I’ve been doing these exercises and I feel so much better.
WOW... THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON DE QUERVAINS SYNDROM...ITS MONTHS I AM SUFFERING & NO DOCTOR WANTS TO SEE ME BECAUSE OF COVID & ALL THEY PRESCRIBE IS ANTI INFLAMATORY, WHICH RELIEVE A LITTLE BUT NOT CURED AT ALL...THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO...YOU RE AWESOME...THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!
I just stumbled on this in a search for answers. You described my condition exactly. I’ve been suffering five months. I think I initially irritated the area trying to open a stuck window. It’s the kind you use two thumbs to push the springs inward and lift. I’m going to try your technique. I’m praying it works. I will save this video. Thank you!
Great video. I had issues a few years ago and couldn’t fix it for nearly 2 years. As a professional musician it was absolutely horrendous. I occasionally get tiny flare ups and the information in this video is not only informative but also very helpful to treat the issue.
I just had my steroids injection few days ago, but the pain is so severe today, glad saw this video, exercises showed here are very helpful. Thank you 😊
Bingo! My right wrist has been hurting for the past 2 months, before finding this video, I didn't even know what I was looking for. Now I not only know what caused the pain, but also learned how to self treat it and how to strengthen the wrist. I'm bookmarking this video. Thank you so so much for helping me getting rid of the pain.
With my first massage only, my complete hand was pain free ! Of course, I will have to repeat that 3 times a day forca few weeks. Thousand thanks from an old Swiss dude!
i woke up one day and felt like someone has bashed my wrists. Then after lots of googling realised this is what i have. man it is painful. I am 50. i do wonder if it because i have been a bit sedentary after working from home since 2020 lockdown. it is great having experts guide me on this.
I love how clear you explain everything, and the how you broke it down for everyday use and explained when I should actually start the exercises! I'm an artist and I've pushed myself too much without breaks last month, which caused my tendons to ache, and it caused me so much fear and stress. My friend lost use of his right hand for months because of serious inflammation and I was scared that would happen to me too. This video helped me understand it a lot more, thank you!
excellent video! The therapist clearly explains the causes for the condition, points out the anatomical parts involved and demonstrates and explains therapeutic exercises. Best and most comprehensive video on this topic that I have found. Thank you
Thank you very much, sir! This is greatly helpful for those who have DQT. Before trying it on my mom, I researched the anatomy of the hand. My goodness, it seemed like the area where it swells pinpointed where the APL and EPB are located. So, I tried the test on my mom to see if it hurts, and yes, she said it does. I also tried the stretches and exercises on my mom, and they helped decrease the pain. Thank you!
Big thanks! Just recently felt pain in the palm near my thumb (where the Thenar muscles are as you mentioned) from climbing! Will hopefully get back to it eventually after 2~3 weeks of wearing a splint! (not at my max climbing level ofc)
Did some DIY installing 9 door seals, each one with 5 self taping screws. The following week I had this Dequav@#$@... 😢 syndrome. Almost 3 months now, 2 splinters later its a little better now, but can flare up for no apparent reason and then its back to zero. But compared to the first days I'm confident it will be gone in 3 months.
Do you have any advice for professional musicians (piano) which caused it in the first place? This is my livelihood. I've been using the prescription cream and doing stretches. I still need to do my job in-between though.
Thanks for this helpful video. I got de Qervains tenosynovitis from my waitressing job, carrying trays laden with 4-5 thick ceramic dinner plates laden with food to diner's tables. People are so ignorant and lazy, they would see you struggling to balance the tray and with the other hand place the heavy plate in front of them as they lean back or tap on their phones. I got got so much pain and trigger thumb as well doing that for 6 hour shifts. Fuk that, now I just place the edge of the tray on the edge of the table and say 'if you don't mind, please take the plates and pass them around' and stand there till they do. Most do, but some act huffy, but I find if I wear the thumb brace, they all comply.
When I stretch on my tendon muscle.., everytime I move my thumb round in circles… I feel it clicking.. there’s a click everytime I move my wrist in circles n the same when I do with my thumb.. what are the clicks??
I had an injury on my wrist when I was playing in the field and collided with my friend and fell down, since then I had pain in my wrist, at the beginning, it was mild pain in the wrist but later the pain moved to the scapula. now after many years I still have pain in my scapula, I can not move my left toe normally, and can not move my left-hand thumb normally. Can you please diagnose? thank you so much
Hi, I've tried the exercise you do here. My wrist/thumb hurts worse than it did. Feels like electritcy going through my hand. Its my right hand. Am I doing something wrong? Or what can I do different?
Thank you for this video. I’ve been suffering recurrent pains diagnosed as such. I’ve been looking for exercises like these. Very helpful and will try to employ them
Did it go away? I had mine when I was 35 weeks pregnant (right hand), den left hand started when I was 37 weeks pregnant. Now after giving birth, my both hands still hurts so bad.. hard to get up from bed especially after C-sect.
OMG this is the exact issue I’m having and it’s crazy because this just started two days ago when I noticed the pain it’s in my left thumb area and the pain is in the side of my wrist right below my thumb area
I've been following your instruction for two weeks, and it's now much worse. Should I continue doing this or follow other videos where the Doctors are saying to wrap it up for several weeks?
Thank you for this. Is it normal for the tendon sleeve itself to swell also? If not, I might have a bone spur on my wrist… it’s larger than on the other hand and it’s freaking me out.
I knew from my twenties I have a malformatiin of my dumbbone or muscle. I don't realy know it is always been and I am used to it. When move your dumb from the second joint like inwards .. I can not do that. It has some flex but vert little, thats why texting on my phone with only using my dumb is not possible because I can not bend that part, just the top bends.
My wrist was so annoying and painful. Couldn’t move my wrist with basic motion without pain. I put a towel over my wrist and then ran it under hot/warm water for around 10-15 mins. Pain was reduced significantly and 10 mins later my pain was gone. Btw Mines come n go but this time I might of stretched my wrist n a weird position. Too painful for most exercises but I appreciate you time and effort .
Thank you so much for explaining in such a perfect way. I wish I can meet you in Edmonton,but you are in Tronto. I Am taking my massage therapist course right now and I’m very worried 😢about my career due to (thumb) Dequervain’s Tenosynovitis.please reply me I’m just looking for any kind of help. Thank you
I have this condition for five months already, and I started taking high frequency magnet training at the hospital a week ago, I really hope it will help, still not feeling the improvements... has anyone overcome this disease? How long did it last for some of you?
I have no idea what is causing me to have De Quervain's, but I've been diagnosed with it twice in the past 9 months. I don't have a baby and I don't even own a cell phone. I hope this program of rest, stretch, and strengthen will help. Otherwise, I'll have to have surgery, and I'm rather not do that!
Everytime I move bend my wrist how long should you rest your wrist before the exercises? My wrist is not fractured or broken because I got a X ray any advice?
What a wonderful video and explanation!! The best i have ever seen on this topic!! You are helping soooo many people with all your work! Thank you from the heart :)
The irony of me thumbing up this video with my pain thumb is priceless. Hands down this is the best video I found on this subject. Thank you
Hands down, Thumb up 🙂
I totally agree!
Totally agreed. Very clear on managing the different stages.
Such an incredibly helpful video. Toronto locals are so lucky to have you!
This is SO helpful, especially when you acknowledge it’s not practical to use a splint or brace while caring for a baby. Thank you for so many angles and details!
In the early stages you will feel the clicks,then as u get better they will go.

But if the problem is that your tendon is stretched out and never go back to released how can stretching it even more help?
When I stretch on my tendon muscle.., everytime I move my thumb round in circles… I feel it clicking.. there’s a click everytime I move my wrist in circles n the same when I do with my thumb.. what are the clicks??
Same here
I have the CLICKS too ...good question thx
