Background: De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (DQT) is an inflammatory condition of the wrist tendon sheath that causes pain and functional limitation. Aim: To describe the clinical outcomes of a combined physiotherapy intervention consisting of Ultrasound, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Hold–Relax technique, and Active Exercise in a case of DQT. Methods: This study was a retrospective documentation review designed as a single-case report. Pain, edema, muscle strength, range of motion (ROM), and functional ability were evaluated across six treatment sessions. Results: Clinically meaningful improvements were observed in pain reduction, edema reduction, increased wrist and thumb ROM, improved muscle strength, and reduced functional disability. Conclusion: The multimodal physiotherapy intervention showed positive improvements in this case of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. However, findings from a single case should be interpreted with caution.
