I am a 61 year old physical therapist. I discovered my Dupuytren's contractures in both of hands eight years ago. I started stretching which helped but as an adjunct sprayed magnesium oil and rubbed it into my hands daily. I also started supplementing oral magnesium 300mg daily. Between the magnesium and stretches my hand range of motion/function is normal. I do still have minimal residual fibrosis of the cords before I started treating it but this is very minor. It is significantly less than when I started treating my hands. This is not a cure but a control. I continue with magnesium and stretching daily and it works for me. I looked but cannot find the article stating magnesium interferes with the collagen crosslinking to form the cords. The article also noted a high degree of patients with Dupuytren's contracture had low levels of magnesium. I hope this information helps. edit - Also of North European heritage

I agree with this stretching. I’ve had this for more than a year now. I noticed when I don’t stretch it for a day or two it gets worse. Keep stretching!

[ruthhickox-litchfield]

Thank you, I do wish there was a printout for these. You are so clear and concise.

Hi folks I've suffered with aggressive Dupuytren's for years. I've had the middle finger operated on and so far so good. I do have it however in the small finger also in the left hand and in the little finger and index of the right hand. I use Magnesium oil with DMSO mix and I use a hard ball (tumble dryer ball) and massage vigorously every day for about 15 min. I wear a finger splint that I bought on Amazon. Before I put on the splint, at bedtime. I massage Sudocrem (like a baby nappy cream) into the hand. I have to say it keeps the finger softened and straight by the morning. I have found this to be more successful than stretches during the day. They were too painful. But much easier to them when the nodules are kept soft.

I have it in both hands and I felt it relax after I tried these exercises on my right hand. Thanks for sharing!!

[yvonnelottsnyder]

[sdavidjohnson]

Thank you for putting out this video. I started doing the stretches and it seems to be helping. My PCP sent me to a local hand specialist for treatment. The specialist said there was nothing he could do for me. Because of my age being 78 he just said it was arthritis. I would live with this as it is not painful, but I am a golfer. Difficult to take the proper grip on the club. i even installed special oversize grips which help a little.

Many thanks from France !!! France ... Where we don't find many ressources about "natural solutions" to slow down this disease... Except on Guy Roulier's chain. I'm going to start today ! I was told about my disease yesterday...

[bigjorge]

Thanks my boy I felt the difference from one hand to the other.

[janicelockhart]

Thank you for your video on Dupuytren's Constractures, I just got this and your exercises really help.

[sherylfay]

Definitely useful stretches especially after warming the hands. I’ll do these throughout the day. I find my hands are worst first thing in the morning and then after using them a lot either typing or cooking. Yoga poses can be helpful too.
