Putting an END to the Signs and Symptoms of DeQuervain's Syndrome
The Symptoms of DeQuervain's Syndrome include::
DeQuervain's is most often caused by repetitive and/or static flexion of the thumb resulting from overuse, direct injury / trauma and certain inflammatory conditions, such as gout , rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes can activate the disorder. Both workplace and recreational activities may cause DeQuervain's Syndrome and it affects women 8-10 times more often than men. FLEXTEND® - RESTORE™ exercises correct DeQuervain's Syndrome by increasing the length of the short, restricted adductor and flexor tendons of the thumb, and by increase the strength and stability of the weak abductor and extensor tendons of the thumb. Addressing the muscle / joint imbalance greatly reduces the pain and dysfunction of Dequervain's Syndrome by reducing laxity in the joint and restoring stability, range of motion, endurance and strength to the affected joint.
"Using the FLEXTEND has helped push the strength in my hands to a new level. The FLEXTEND has also built up the tendon strength I need to prevent injury during training. For grappling, grip strength is essential, and from using the FLEXTEND, my hands grip tighter and I can hold on longer.this is a winning edge in competition."
"As a striker I have less injuries to the small joints in my hands due to the use of FLEXTEND. The strengthening of the tendons and muscles in the hand, wrist and forearm is a key to injury prevention. In addition, the ability to make my fist more compact, allows me to strike harder and faster." Whether you are a Boxer, Kick Boxer or Grappler, or just utilize your hands extensively for any sport, using the FLEXTEND will give you the winning edge." - Dennis Asche
