Sharp pain along the thumb side of the wrist, worse when gripping, twisting a jar lid, or lifting a child, is one of the most recognisable signs of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. It’s a condition that shows up frequently in new mothers — earning it the nickname “mommy thumb” — but is just as common among people whose daily activities involve repetitive thumb and wrist movement, from tailoring to phone use to certain manual jobs.
Because the pain often builds gradually rather than appearing suddenly, many people wait far longer than they should before seeking treatment. At Spine Act Physiotherapy Spine & Neuro Clinic, Dr. Yash Pratap sees De Quervain’s regularly and takes a targeted approach that addresses both the irritated tendons and the repetitive movement patterns causing the problem.
What Is De Quervain's Tenosynovitis? Understanding Thumb-Side Wrist Pain
De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is inflammation of the tendons and tendon sheath that run along the thumb side of the wrist — specifically the two tendons that allow the thumb to move away from the hand and extend backward. Repetitive gripping, twisting, or lifting motions cause these tendons to rub against their narrow sheath, leading to swelling, thickening, and pain with movement.
The condition is especially common in new mothers due to the repetitive wrist-and-thumb motion involved in lifting an infant with the hands positioned under the arms, combined with the hormonal changes of the postpartum period that can increase tendon swelling. It’s also frequently seen in people whose work or hobbies involve repetitive pinching or gripping — think tailoring, texting, gardening, or certain assembly-line tasks.
Left untreated, De Quervain’s tends to worsen with continued use, and the pain can start to interfere with basic daily tasks like buttoning clothes, opening jars, or picking up a cup.

De Quervain's Treatment Options at Spine Act Physiotherapy, Beta 2
Activity modification and splinting guidance: The first step is reducing the repetitive strain on the affected tendons. Dr. Yash Pratap advises on a thumb spica splint to rest the tendons during the acute phase, along with practical adjustments to daily movements — particularly how new mothers lift and carry their baby.
Manual therapy and soft tissue release: Targeted hands-on techniques around the base of the thumb and wrist help reduce tendon irritation and improve gliding within the tendon sheath, often combined with Deep Tissue Laser Therapy from the clinic’s range of physiotherapy services to reduce inflammation.
Progressive stretching and strengthening: Once acute pain settles, a graded programme of thumb and wrist exercises restores full pain-free movement and builds resilience against recurrence — particularly important for anyone returning to repetitive tasks like childcare or manual work.
Ergonomic guidance: Whether the cause is infant-lifting technique, phone use, or repetitive work tasks, the team provides specific, practical adjustments tailored to what’s actually driving the strain in each individual case.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in New Mothers — Why It's So Common
“Mommy thumb” is one of the most frequent presentations of De Quervain’s seen in physiotherapy clinics, and it typically develops in the weeks to months after childbirth. Repeatedly lifting a baby with the wrists in an awkward, thumb-extended position places sustained strain on the exact tendons affected by this condition. Postpartum hormonal changes, which can increase tissue laxity and swelling, often compound the problem.
The encouraging part is that with correct lifting technique, targeted physiotherapy, and appropriate rest of the affected tendons, most new mothers see substantial improvement without needing to stop caring for their baby entirely — the goal is adjusting how the movement is done, not avoiding it altogether.

Who is the best physiotherapist near Beta 2, Greater Noida for De Quervain’s tenosynovitis?
Dr. Yash Pratap at Spine Act Physiotherapy Spine & Neuro Clinic regularly treats De Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis, including the “mommy thumb” presentation common in new mothers, using manual therapy, splinting guidance, and progressive strengthening.
Is De Quervain’s tenosynovitis the same as carpal tunnel syndrome?
No, though they can feel similar. De Quervain’s affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, while carpal tunnel syndrome involves compression of the median nerve. A physiotherapy assessment can distinguish between the two, since treatment differs.
Can De Quervain’s tenosynovitis be treated without stopping childcare duties?
In most cases, yes. Treatment focuses on correcting lifting technique, targeted splinting during rest periods, and gradual strengthening rather than requiring complete avoidance of caring for your baby.
How long does physiotherapy take to resolve De Quervain’s symptoms?
Many patients see meaningful improvement within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent treatment, though this depends on symptom severity and how much the aggravating activity can be modified in the meantime.
What are the clinic’s timings for a thumb and wrist assessment?
Spine Act Physiotherapy Spine & Neuro Clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Closed Sunday.
