Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) results from compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Repetitive motions, such as typing or repetitive gripping, sports, weight lifting can put pressureon the carpals and can contribute to inflammation and swelling, leading to increased pressure on the median nerve. This compression causes symptoms like tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand and fingers. Massage therapy targeting the flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm can provide relief by reducing tension and promoting better circulation. Working on the flexors, which are often overused in activities that contribute to CTS, helps alleviate strain. Simultaneously, addressing the extensors helps balance muscle activity. Regular massage sessions focusing on these areas can aid in reducing symptoms associated with CTS and contribute to improved hand and wrist function.
