- Massage De Quervain's Tenosynovitis for pain relief
Inflammation of the tendon's sheath (what surrounds tendons) of the thumb is referred to as De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
This is a painful condition of the thumb that can make typing, texting, writing or golfing very painful.
More info on DQT and how to bring relief www.hollandreflexology.com/massage-de-quervains-tenosynovitis-for-pain-relief/
I confirm that I have this problem on my wrist by doing the test, looking at how the massage is being done makes me think twice to try it, LOL. I cant describe the pain and only us who suffers this issue can tell how it really hurts.
Yes too much pain😢
Yes it hurts
Same for me.. I have QT.. but I found Awesome relief from pain and inflammation by using fresh ginger poltice.
I grind some fresh ginger root and place it on a precut piece of cloth and wrap it in the area.. making sure to make it moisture proof.. I usually keep it overnight with great results 👍
No pun intended with the thumb up 😂
@@bruno-orante funny thing is that its been a quite a while since my wrist feels great again I mean its normal now, I didn't take any internal medications, but the only thing that I did is evrynight before I sleep. I smother it with eucalyptos oil for more than two weeks and I think that did it. its been almost 4 months ago after I commented here.
I have it and it is excruciating.
I'm impressed. I tried to self massage while viewing the video. Immediately wrist feels freer and lighter. I will try to incorporate the massage into my day. Admit I am guilty of ignoring previous flare ups. No more.
RUclips is very useful for these kind of situations, very well explained, I’m right handed so I couldn’t chop it off it hurt so much, I used an ice pack and a frozen ball bearing to do those massages, the relief was amazing, Thankyou so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😢
I’m a massage therapist and I was very worried with the beginning stage of this disorder. These helped me a lot! Thanks so much! (It was from carrying my table on mobile calls etc, not from massage itself…
I have this condition. I was sent to a physio but they never showed me any of these techniques. I am at the moment waiting to have injection in my wrist. But I will certainly try and do these exercises you have shown, as I've been in pain since 2020 thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thank you for this! Helped tremendously!
Well explained!! The best!
I will watch and follow the instructions. Looking forward to it!
I'm a Bowler in leagues and man this pain in my thumb/wrist is Exactly this!!! Very helpful video.
Thank you very much for the video. It’s very informative
You are best !!! Wanted to find XFF for De Quervain and found such a great Tx!❤
Excellent video for DQT remedial treatment
thanks for the drawing! I enjoyed how informative this was.
To bad the drawings are wrong 😅
Extremely helpful. Thanks to your video, and the Finkelstein Test, I diagnosed myself. I did what your video explains, have stretched my tendons and have given myself relief. Thank you a million times over.
This made me wish so bad that that hand you were working on was mine!
Thank you. It has been very helpful to me.
Thank you so much.....I'm doing to myself. DQT indeed very painful
thank you for sharing your expertise....doing my best to avoid surgery and I believe these massages will help me greatly....
Yes. I performed your test. Nothing happened. I’m still doing your therapy. As demonstrators. It releases the pain. Thank you for your video. It is very informative.
Idk how many youtube videos I've done with really not many change with my thumb and wrist but with this one, wow! I had relief in 3days the pain and discomfort almost feels like its gone. I'm so glad I ran into this video and you sharing it, thank you!
Update:
All my pain has went away.
Took 5 weeks.
Good job and congratz. How long did you have it? Were the massages the deciding factor?
@TheLegend 27 had u refrained from doing any activities involving wirst/thumb during that 5 weeks
@@pavankumaraakash Yeah I'd love him to elaborate more too. I can't get rid of this DQT :/
@@MyNigellus how about your experience? Past week right .
@@pavankumaraakash Having it for 2 months now (Exactly). Been to 2 massages (work only temporary), took antiimflammatory meds (works like a charm but after the meds wear off it is right back again). Have been resting, splinting, stretching, medicating, supplementing with MSM/Chondroitin/Glucosamine. Without real success, the problem still persissts and my tendons or their sheet seem to be still inflamed. Starting to get desperate and close to depressed (or rather unhappy with the condition). Going for acupuncture next week, will also ask doc tomorrow about injections - BUT not cortizone which seems to rot bone.
I can't thank you enough for helping with this video. I have been in pain since the middle of August as a residential gardener who made bouquets for two solid days for a client. Very little Healthcare or physio available due to covid.
My son helped me with some of the massage moves and it already feels better after 1 treatment. You may have saved my job and my home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
How are you feeling now ?
Thank you to give us exesise
WOW....I have a watched a ton of DQT videos and this has to be the best one I have seen. A lot of other videos will tell me to massage my forearm or twist my elbows while having my hand flat on the ground, but this seems to be the most effective for my specific DQT symptoms
I have watched EVERY DQT youtube video and THIS IS HANDS DOWN (er I mean thumbs, wrist...) the best. Everyone else talks about massage, shows massage, but never explains how correct massage is key. They may say it stretches the tendons, but nothing about the sheath and the core of this syndrome, or working the area to encourage the tendons to recoil and play nice again. 🥰. Seriously I assumed the massage was to help me COPE with the pain. I now know done successfully, it can correct the DQT. Truly GRATEFUL having watched and learned from you.
PS. I think I obtained DQT from yard work. Hours of ZT mowers that have steering handles between your legs that require constant slight correction attention using thumbs/wrist. And miles of gas powered weed eater that vibrates even your teeth. Arrrgh. Can I continue during treating the pain, IF I wear a wrist support? Something that keeps my thumb in position?
Your welcome B
This is good information, the sad fact is if you don't have someone to help massage you, you won't really get anywhere. Having NO1 and being very skinny it is hard to do these efficiently sadly 😢
Tbh I woke up one morning with severe wrist pain. I brushed it off cause you know I thought to myself “well maybe I just slept on it” . So letting it heal on its own was the path I chose to recovery. When I looked into this I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. All the symptoms were so similar. I immediately started doing some exercises and bam 4 weeks later I recovered. Take note I started doing the exercises after two weeks in of pain 😭😭😭
Thanks for your advice
Thank you SO SO much for this video, one of the best massage showcases, other videos (not to blame them) just show 3 simple exercises but they don't really go "in depth" with the soft tissue massage etc. Trying it asap. Thanks once again.
Your Welcome Andrzej!
I'm a barista and this definitely helped!
GreaT! Im an MT and im struggling so this should help
Thank you Doug. I started suffering this last year in August saw a hand therapist who diagnosed it and made up a splint. The problem was that after session after session there was not alot of treatment progress. The cost and not moving forward I just rested it for ages and finally it started to improve I thought. But anytime it was pressed to work as in raking, whipper snipping and putting horse rugs on it would become sore. August this year I think it had had enough of and now I am back at square one. Decided to see a physio again treatment after treatment, the cost is prohibative. I went to an acupuncturist last week, finally I felt some relieve. Currently I have the splint on but now I will gradually follow your advice. And then gradually build the strength back. I looked at whipper snipping today and although the hand therapist said I could do it with the splint on once I looked at the movement and the weight my left hand has to carry I will hold off .. Once again good solid sound advice thankyou.
That was an awesome demo, anatomy illustration, and explanation. Will be coming back to watch this video again. I tried the techniques on myself and I feel much looser in my wrist.Thank you!
I did the massage myself and it helped so much!!!! Thank you
Thanks very much for the video I haven't been to see a doctor yet but I'm pretty sure that I have dqv by the way your describing the symptoms and mine are the same. Can you please tell me what other exercises I could do on my own just to try and ease the pain. Many thanks for great video
Thank you so much for this video!! I got this from having a bent wrist constantly from breastfeeding and 9 months later it hasn’t gotten much better and hopeful this will help!
Thank you for sharing I have the DQT too
These massage techniques were soooo effective thank uuuu 🙏🏼
Your welcome Kristen!
Any vids for guitarists with pain / inflammation on the inner side of the wrist of the fret hand? Great video btw
Thank you so much
Great video
Your welcome Fazeela
I went to urgent care because the pain was so bad. They said I have a little arthritis. Ugh! Telemedicine call with GP 2 days later and he recommended a thumb splint, which helps a lot but certain movements still cause excruciating pain.
Saw him in office a couple of weeks later and he put me on anti inflammatory meds and was impressed that I had identified my problem as DQT.
These massages definitely work the right area for me. I have to be really gentle though. Thanks for this video!
Your welcome Shelly. Glad you are doing better.
Thanks doctor
Very helpful ,Ramesh Trinidad
Really very useful massages, i have this tendón disease greatings from Peru
Your welcome
I have a Quervian’s about one week ago and and support my wrist and thumb with supporter, I remove it and do this massage with you on watching your video and I am surprised that the pain is relieved, thanks too much for your effort
how many days did you do this massage?
thank you so much
My injury is from falling on my hand years ago. It took a while to heal. It's been hurting on and off nowadays. Mostly when I'm doing pushups. I ended up buying a push-up device that aids in arm and wrist pain. But lately the pain has been unbearable. Especially today. Couldn't even lift a plate. This instructional video really helped. Thank you.
Medical miracle..❤
This video had been so so so helpful . Thank you very much (cam on ban ) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳
Your welcome Lien
Very helpful for us serious bowlers.... any advice. Any Bowling Professionals with advice to avoid/rid this condition. My first time feeling this pain Ever and been bowling for years now...
You’re the best
Anyone here work in the dental field? I’ve had symptoms for a month, and this massage provided great relief!
It's been over 2 years now since I was diagnosed with this. I no longer have pain but even using the computer mouse to simply browse the internet causes dull pain and discomfort, which gets gradually worse until I stop. Should I consider surgery?
I've had this for a year. GP did nothing but send me for xrays although I told them what I had. The pain is excruciating and prevent me from working effectively (Sport therapist) I've just been referred for a thumb spica. This video had been so helpful. Thank you
Your welcome
HI Ellayne, i had this for a year until I had accupuncture, twice a week...it took 3 weeks and no longer have it! So thrilled
Are you still experiencing any pain? It took me a year to get to the surgeon that injected some type of steroids yesterday into my wrist see if that helps . I injured mine at work with an angle grinder. Had to refer myself to a physiotherapy which I found completely useless . It's been exactly one year from when I first injured.
@@antst5712 did it help?
@@DubSalvation Hi, no it did not . i actually had more pain that lasted for 3 weeks and was back to square one again!
Awesome!!!!
I got a shot today for the same problem i hope it helps thanks for sharing
I found the pain in my thumb when I did the massage! I think it's gonna work! Thank you!
Good to hear Vito. Your welcome
@@hollandmassagereflexology2000 How often should I do the massage? Once or twice a day? Thanks!
@@victorconway9526 I work on my patients one good time a week. When I work on myself I do it 3 times a week. Always check with your Doctor if your experiencing pain.
thank you!!
Great great video.
Do you think Voltaren Gel would help w inflammation. Although the exercises seems to be helpful but I can’t do this then on my self. Should I see a hand specialist Dr to get this kind of exercises?
Hi Sara. I would always see a doctor if you are in pain. A diagnosis is half the battle.
Can you show some exercises that I can do on myself?
Very well explained...thank you so much...im going to try these massages...coz im suffering from this issue for atleast 4 months now..... I'll definitely come back after a while and tell you whether I've got relief or not....but thanks so much for the explanation once again
Yes!! I did the hand thumb excercise.. And its excruciating! I cant do it. 😢 could a previous stint with trigger finger in the thumb possibly of contributed to this wrist/tendon pain?
Its Ok, if i doing this everyday? And how many times in a day?
Ben dün yaptım gösterdiğiniz hareketleri gerçekten elimi kapatamiyirdum sinir sıkışması vardı amaliyat dediler olmadım ellerimi kapatabiliyirum ve ağrım kalmadı sinir sıkışması ellerde hareket gösterebilir misin çok teşekkür ediyorum 🤲 size
It's hard doing this by myself doc. I need for you to come over and I'll by you lunch 🤓
Your Welcome. It is hard to work on DQT by yourself.
Great video! Thank you! Are there strengthening exercises you recommend? I’m a henna and lettering artist and my tendonitis keeps coming back, I just want to be able to use my hand without the pain reoccurring.
Faheema, I love to swing kettlebells to cause extensors to stretch the tendons for DQT.
It works for about half the people I suggest it to.
@@hollandmassagereflexology2000 thanks! I've never heard of kettlebells but will look into it
Is there a way to do other exercises your self and any braces you recommend to help while sleeping and working ?I'm a hairstylist and suffer from dequervain as well as carpal tunnel in both hands. Its very painful and Anything you could suggest I greatly appreciate .
What a fascinating video…I bet people like you are hard to find. You know your stuff and you love what you do because you understand the body systems. I wish you were near me. 😩
The best exercises ever. Thx a million
I was diagnosed with this yesterday I just tried some of your massage techniques and I feel relief…😮 Do you know if right knee pain is related? I went to an acupuncturist and she mentioned right knee and left wrist are related…🤔 After I tried the massage I could do (my left wrist is the one hurting) I feel like my right knee also felt better.
I had the de quervains release surgery on both wrists many years ago
Did it work well?
Would love to see a video of self massage. Guitar player asking for a guitar playing friend. ;-)
Please share self massage techniques I don't have assistance
I have lived with this problem for a decade and was considering surgery, I really hope there is a fix without it though. Will any massage therapist know how to do this or is there a kind of specialist to look for?
Best video very clearly explained i hv been suffering mommy's thumb for the past three months i will try this asap hope this helps
Hi did it help
Hey did it help?
Thank you for this video! I’ve just had DQT happen to me for about a week now and it seemed to be improving with just stretching and a natural anti inflammatory cream for soft tissues… it only hurts like hell first thing in the morning. Decided to get a wrist splint and after wearing it for a few hours (out and about and then when I’m sleeping)… but when I take it off it’s soooo stiff and hurts even more. I’m wondering if I should even bother wearing the splint?
Omgosh I have the exact same thingi have a ton of braces it irritating the pain so I got KT TAPE GONNA TRy these exercises
When should I go see a doctor about the pain in my wrist? Should I try wearing a brace for a few weeks first? I just started back up college classes so I’m writing a lot more now.
I would go to the doctor first for a diagnosis.
Thank you for these videos. I have been diagnosed with dequervains. I am also a LMT for 34 years. I fell on my wrist riding my unicycle 3 months ago. I had a steroid injection 3 weeks ago and have had no relief from the pain. I have been doing self massage , seeing a PT, and all that I can find on the internet to help heal this. Wearing braces, etc. I am supposed to have surgery in 1 week and I don't want to but the pain hasn't eased up. Do you think it is wise to wait a while for before having surgery, have another steroid injection? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
How is your wrist now, did you have surgery?
Hi, Just found your video. Can't do all them on my own. Which one's would you suggest I do on myself?
For the soreness should you add ice?
😢thank u
Thanks for the info. I have a question does bruising usually accompany one of the symptoms. Sometime my thumb won't be swollen but it appears to be bruised.
Not in my experience Gerald. Bruising is a sign of injury.
I have this issue right it’s real painful thanks a lot
I can't seem to reach the areas with my left hand, to do the walking massaging, etc. as it's on my right wrist.
I wish I has a PT friend to help me.
When would surgery be necessary ?
Thank you so much for this video ! Unfortunately, the huge pain I have, about 7 weeks later, is still at a 10, and maybe a 9 after I put it in the brace and go to sleep.... Does all this type of massage do good to my obviously, inflamed parts, and not make them more inflamed ? I know, it's been 3 years.... Hope you are still around ! Thanks again ! Fran Danco
If no progress is felt by self care than I would see a doctor in the sports medicine field Fran.
I'm gonna try self-massage / self-physio exercises for a month or so then cave in and go to a doctor for a corticosteroid shot ... Do your patients usually go in for massage in lieu of the corticosteroid shot, or do they do both?
Kevin...some do both. each person is different.
What do you recommend doing for somebody that has wrist tendonitis?
My hand doctor says there is no therapy for this syndrome. So glad to see that there is.
Of course, there is no money in a cure. 😉
0:25
Internet ruined my mind.
I've tried a couple of videos and did this along with you..albeit somewhat difficult to do alone....but do you suggest icing at all? Ibuprofen?
I would ask a doctor first before experimenting with cryotherapy or IBP.
Me gustó mucho este video,lástima por que no entiendo lo que dice,soy de México y no hablo español y me duele mucho mi mano pero no puedo salir por lo del Coronavirus y m mandaron desinflamatorios 🙁
Thanks dude, immediate relief massaging myself. Much appreciated!
I literally thought I tore something in my wrist until I found this video. Definitely use lots of ice
If those muscles/tendons have essentially been injured, how does it help to keep pushing and twisting on it? How does that not hurt it further? For example, if we badly sprain an ankle, it gets wrapped up or casted and completely isolated for weeks to heal. Because I also see countless other medical people suggesting to ONLY rest for this affliction.
Thank you for sharing. Suffering for 3 weeks with this. This was amazing and has helped tremendously over night. Would you suggest using tape during the day for activities?
Richard, I have used tape at night so that it keeps me from sleeping weird on it.
Glad to here the massage helped.
@@hollandmassagereflexology2000 I"m not a doctor but using the tape at NIGTH BEFORE BEDt (I use the KT tape) works incredibley!!! I tape the index finger to the thumb and NEVER wake up in pain! My cousin recommended this for nightime and it works!!
@@victorconway9526omgosh how do you do this exactly I'm trying this actually on Nov 4 th I'm not sure in definite I have this but I do have pain by holding my fingers together and turning my wrist a certain way ugh it's terrible so I took the KT tape taped my index finger to my thumb looks silly but I hope it works not sure exactly what I'm doing tho LOL but thank you
I need this!!!! I know for a fact this would hurt but needs to be done because this is not it.
What type of doctor should i go to get this sort of massage?
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
My both wrist feel pain when i do the stretching..
I wish i cld find a guy like this , i have base thumb pain & swelling ( gets worse with lots of txting )
Chiro i saw said i had - carpel tunnel ?!
I dont agree !
Can carpal tunnel develop De Quervain?
exelent
My wife has got this condition. She's a bit enthusiastic when it comes to 'mr percy' time.
Very helpful. How often and for how long should this massage be done before expecting results? Should this massage be done weekly, daily, multiple times per day?
Maria. My experience is "5 minutes max" per hand, with a 72 hour rest between visits for healing. Each person heals differently, so how long before desired results? I seen great results for some in just two visits. Others a few weeks. If they don't improve after a few weeks, then I offer them to try another modality for relief.
If you have this for over a year, and decide to do therapy will the chances of it going away be slim? This is very helpful, but can this be done at home also?
@@brittanypare3885 In my opinion therapy always brings some relief. To what degree is the question. and that depends on way to many things. If you have someone at home that will participate in the exercises gently, you may be surprised by to which degree you feel better. I never regret trying to help someone with this condition.
@@hollandmassagereflexology2000 tens machine and ultrasound can relief this type of extreme pain ?
Thx
