Tenosynovitis

Pulling pain and friction when moving your hand or wrist? Tenosynovitis is caused by overuse—and subsides with the right treatment.

In tenosynovitis (tendovaginitis), the gliding sheath of a tendon is irritated, usually at the wrist or forearm. The cause is typically an unfamiliar or repetitive strain. It is uncomfortable but highly treatable.

Pulling pain when moving the affected tendon, sometimes an audible or palpable friction, swelling, and tenderness. Symptoms intensify under load.

Unfamiliar or repetitive strain (such as from new activities, typing, or manual labor), overuse, and unfavorable movement patterns.

First, we calm the irritation through load adjustment and Manual Therapy. Subsequently, we rebuild resilience with dosed evidence-based training and optimize the triggering movements via movement analysis so that the symptoms do not return.
