Postpartum Wrist Pain

Here is a little talked about fact: postpartum wrist pain is quite common! Officially named De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, this wrist pain occurs at the base of the thumb and is often aggravated postpartum by the frequent and possibly strenuous motions of lifting your newborn (while also supporting their head). Dr. Alicia talks with Krysta Norwick, registered physiotherapist and owner of Cairn Physiotherapy, about symptoms, who is at risk, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment!  IG: @cairnphysiotherapy  www.cairnphysiotherapy.ca  Watch Cairn Physiotherapy’s IG video about Wrist Pain Massage!
