People with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sometimes write with questions. Here’s one email with my response:
1.
Strengthen your back to improve your posture. Don’t worry about getting
a strong chest. The muscles in the front of your body pull you forward.
Strong back muscles (including the back of your neck) will help your
posture be more upright (including moving your head over your
shoulders.) All of that will take the pressure off the muscles in your
neck that cause carpal tunnel symptoms. There are very simple exercises
at SimpleStrengthening
There’s an easy-to-use program (so easy you can do it in bed, not a work-out at all) at Simple Strengthening Course.
2.
If you can have access to therapeutic massage that will make a big
difference. To find the right therapist who can really help you, right here at Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief, go to Categories, find the Massage category, and you will find an article about How To Find A Massage Therapist.
3.
Also here, under the Trigger Category, you will find an article
about The Muscle In Your Neck That Causes CTS. That is a large part of what I suspect is happening with you. That link will take you to a simple self-help program.
4. And, while you are here, check out the Self Help Category.
But, truly, the best thing I can think of is to have professional
therapeutic massage. You will be amazed at the tight areas a skilled therapist can find and release.
Stretching helps a lot but skillful massage helps a tremendous amount! A skilled therapist CAN help you get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms naturally.
All the best,
