What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Onset and symptoms

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which extends from your forearm to the palm of your hand, is subjected to pressure in its passage over the wrist, known as the carpal tunnel. Most often, carpal tunnel syndrome develops due to repetitive pressure or movement, but pregnancy, diabetes, and fractures can also cause the condition. Symptoms may begin slowly and often include a burning sensation, tingling, or numbness in the palm and fingers. The symptoms are often worst in the early morning or evening. Since this is a progressive condition, the symptoms generally get worse over time if left untreated. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to seek professional help at the first sign of trouble.

The goals of carpal tunnel syndrome massage

The primary goal of carpal tunnel syndrome massage is to reduce inflammation and pressure around the median nerve. By releasing tension using specialized massage techniques, blood flow can be increased and pressure on the nerve can be reduced. This can lead to relief and increased mobility.

How a carpal tunnel syndrome massage works at the Fascia clinics

Preparation

Before the first visit, you must fill out a health form that our therapists will have access to. The therapists can then do a thorough review of your medical history, your current health condition and what your athletic goals are. It also provides a clear picture of your specific needs and any problem areas that need extra attention. Your first visit begins with a consultation where we discuss your health form and your current symptoms. We also take and scan your balance and posture to see where imbalances and compensations are, and how these can affect you.

The treatment process

After the consultation, we begin the fascia treatment itself. The treatment is done with the clothes on and no oil or creams are used. The treatment usually does not hurt even though it is very profound. The therapist uses both his hands and a Fascia Innovation machine that sends out deep waves in the body. These speed up circulation and dissolve condensations in the fascia. In the treatment, we also adjust the pelvis and reduce the tension on the back and upper extremities. The body becomes more balanced and this can benefit the healing of carpal tunnel syndrome. A balanced body puts more even strain on joints and muscles, which will reduce the risk of injury and speed up the body’s recovery.

After the treatment

After treatment, it is normal to feel tired and lethargic. If the therapist thinks it is necessary, you can get advice and exercises to take home with you. It can help you maintain your positive treatment results and speed up your healing. Remember that it is important that you are willing and intentionally engage daily to experience positive change. Otherwise, there is a great risk that the problems will recur.
