Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) usually begins with occasional hand and wrist numbness. Most people ignore CTS when it is in its early stages. Over time, the numbness persists and turns into pain and hand weakness.
Massage therapy can be a safe and highly beneficial approach for clients with carpal tunnel syndrome. At the least, massage is an excellent preventive measure that could reduce the advancement of CTS to a more severe stage.
There are several importantfactors to note when considering massage for CTS. As mentioned earlier, direct manipulation of the damaged nerve is detrimental and may cause further problems. Practitioners should use great caution in applying any further pressure directly on the carpal-tunnel region. However, there are other beneficial techniques that can be used.
