“Mommy thumb” (also known as De Quervain’s disease) commonly affects caregivers who frequently lift babies, do housework, or use smartphones. The condition causes pain, numbness, or restricted movement in the outer wrist.
Though it may seem minor, this discomfort can disrupt everyday life. This guide offers non-medical, immediately actionable relief methods—from home care to non-invasive spa treatments at Sparadise.
1. Wear Support Gear: Reduce Repetitive Wrist Strain
Repetitive strain from activities like holding children, cleaning, cooking, and scrolling on phones is a major trigger for mommy thumb. In early stages, consider the following home remedies:
- Apply warm compresses before bed to relax local muscles and promote circulation
- Wear wrist braces or compression bands to reduce joint movement
- Adjust daily routines to minimize repetitive wrist actions
2. Acupressure & Muscle Massage: Targeted Tension Release
At Sparadise, our certified aromatherapists are familiar with common pain patterns linked to mommy thumb. We provide customized essential oil massages focused on relaxing the thumb base, forearm extensor muscles, and wrist joints.
Massage features include:
- A fusion of Eastern meridian work (Large Intestine and Lung meridians, plus lymphatic pathways along the forearm) and Western muscle release (targeting forearm extensors, extensor carpi radialis, abductor pollicis longus)
- Use of natural carrier oils (sweet almond, jojoba) infused with calming essential oils (lavender, Roman chamomile, frankincense), combined with deep tissue pressure
- Optional acupressure on points like Hegu (LI4), Yangxi (LI5), and Thenar Eminence
Note: This is a non-medical wellness massage. No invasive procedures are involved.
3. INDIBA Pain-Free Radiofrequency Treatment: Non-Invasive Relief
Sparadise Spa offers INDIBA®—a radiofrequency therapy device from Spain operating at a patented 448kHz frequency. It penetrates deep into tissue to support circulation and metabolism, ideal for those with wrist fatigue or chronic muscle tightness.
INDIBA benefits:
- Non-invasive, painless, and no downtime
- Can be applied locally on wrists, forearms, and finger joints
- Promotes deep circulation and metabolic repair
Its Deep Thermal Effect boosts cellular metabolism, speeds up tissue repair, and relieves muscle tension. Widely used in Japan under the “Onkatsu” concept (body warming wellness), it’s perfect for moms needing comfort without medical intervention.
Note: INDIBA is a wellness service and not a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis.
4. When to Seek Medical Attention (Informational Only)
If your symptoms are severe—persistent swelling, pain at night, or interference with daily life—please consult an orthopedic or rehab specialist.
Common treatments may include:
- Anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications (prescribed by a doctor)
- Corticosteroid injections (with possible side effects)
