Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) causes pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands and wrists. Whether you’re a desk worker, musician, or someone who performs repetitive tasks, CTS can disrupt daily life. But did you know massage therapy can be an effective way to find relief?
so What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
CTS occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, is compressed. This often results from repetitive hand movements, poor ergonomics, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Common symptoms include:
Numbness or tingling in the fingers
Weakness in the hand
Pain radiating up the arm
How remedial Massage Therapy Helps
Massage targets the root causes of CTS by:
Reducing Muscle Tension: Massage eases tightness in the forearm, wrist, and hand muscles, reducing pressure on the median nerve.
Improving Circulation: Better blood flow helps decrease inflammation and promote healing.
Releasing Fascial Restrictions: Techniques like myofascial release improve flexibility and reduce stiffness in the wrist and hand.
Best Massage Techniques for CTS
myofacial release: Focuses on releasing tight muscles and fascia. particularly along areas where the median nerve can get stuck.
Trigger Point Therapy: Targets knots in the forearm that may be contributing to nerve compression.
Stretching and Joint Mobilization: Enhances mobility and reduces stiffness in the wrist and hand.
