Our user asked: "Have you had success in treating De Quervain's tendonitis with physical therapy?

Ask a PT Response: ""I have found that in my personal experience I have had success in treating it, however it tends to be one of the more "difficult" tendinitis' to treat. I seem to have more luck with more acute flare ups than with chronic. Surgery is tricky and not always successful."
