🖐️ Managing Mum’s Thumb (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis)
Sore wrist or thumb from lifting bub?
You’re not alone!
Try these gentle tips:
✨ Keep your wrist in a neutral position when lifting your baby
✨ Grip with thumb glued to hand
✨ Apply ice to reduce pain and inflammation
✨ Gentle stretches and isometric strengthening can aid recovery
If pain persists, a physiotherapist can guide you through safe exercises and support options such as taping or a brace.
