“My tendonitis, which even a university hospital had given up on, has improved!”

Tendonitis is a condition in which overuse of the wrist or fingers causes friction between the tendon and its sheath, leading to inflammation, pain, and swelling.
It is commonly seen in people who use smartphones or computers for long periods, play musical instruments, and also frequently affects women during pregnancy and postpartum.
The basic treatment involves rest and immobilization with a wrist support, and in cases of severe inflammation, steroid injections or surgery may be considered.

Typical symptoms of tendonitis include the following:

• Pain and swelling at the base of the thumb or on the thumb side of the wrist → indicative of De Quervain’s syndrome
• Pain at the base of the finger, making bending and straightening difficult
• The finger catches partway when bending or straightening and then snaps back → characteristic of trigger finger.

The main causes include repetitive use of the wrist or fingers, hormonal changes in women, and underlying conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.

The primary approach is rest.
If you must use your hands for work or other tasks, it is recommended to immobilize the wrist with a support or brace.
If symptoms do not improve, a tenosynovial release surgery (a short procedure under local anesthesia) may be performed.

Elbow pain is often caused by tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis).
As the names suggest, these conditions occur from repeated movements in sports or other activities that place stress on the elbow.
They are most common in people over 40 and tend to become chronic. Even those who do not play sports can develop them, especially people who frequently use their hands for desk work or similar tasks.

When these symptoms are present, prolonged use of a support brace can cause the muscles in the arm and fingers to stiffen. Even after the inflammation subsides, this may leave the arm difficult to move and can lead to repeated episodes of inflammation.

At Re:Light, we do not focus only on the wrist or elbow area. We place importance on overall body balance and movement connections while guiding each session.

By paying attention to how the shoulders, back, and core are used together, we support awareness of body usage that helps avoid excessive strain concentrating on a single area.

Rather than limiting the experience to a single moment, we value approaches that make it easier to use the body comfortably during everyday activities, work, and sports.
