A easy taping technique for help with de Quervains tenosynovitis.

de Quervains tenosynovitis is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. If you have de Quervains tenosynovitis, it will probably hurt when you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist.

Although the exact cause of de Quervains tenosynovitis isn't known, any activity that relies on repetitive hand or wrist movement such as working in the garden, playing golf or racket sports can make it worse.

Symptoms of de Quervains tenosynovitis include:

Pain near the base of your thumb
Swelling near the base of your thumb
Difficulty moving your thumb and wrist when you're doing something that involves grasping or pinching
A "sticking" or "stop-and-go" sensation in your thumb when moving it

This taping technique will help with the pain associated with de Quervains tenosynovitis, improve function and help with the healing process.

In this video I am using RockTape for this technique. If the skin becomes itchy the tape should be removed straight away, Do not use taping if you are allergic to plasters. You should not constantly re tape. You need to give your skin time to breathe between taping. I recommend a minimum of 5 days between tapings.
