Dupuytren contracture is a condition in which the tissue under the skin of the palm (called fascia) slowly becomes thick and tight, forming hard lumps or cords. Over time, these cords can pull one or more fingers, usually the ring and little finger towards the palm, making it difficult to straighten them or use the hand properly.The condition develops gradually over months or years and is more common in people above 50, especially men. There are some common symptoms you can easily notice include: Small, firm lumps or nodules in the centre of your palm. Thick, rope-like cords that you can feel or see under the skin. Fingers that gradually curl inwards and refuse to open flat. Difficulty in simple tasks like putting your hand in your pocket, wearing gloves, shaking hands or gripping large objects. Correct physiotherapy management works best when started early and can often slow or even reverse the tightening without surgery. The focus is on keeping your fingers mobile and the cords flexible. A good programme includes: Gentle daily stretching exercises to open the fingers. Custom night splints that hold the fingers straight while you sleep, gently stretching the cords. Soft massage and mobilisation techniques to soften the lumps and improve blood flow. Simple hand-strengthening moves so you can still do your daily work comfortably.
