⚡️⚡️ Anyone else feeling the tingle of carpal tunnel? Before you resign yourself to life with CTS, consider the power of massage therapy 🙌

CTS occurs when the median nerve, responsible for feeling and movement in your thumb, fingers, and part of your palm, gets compressed in the carpal tunnel at your wrist. Massage therapy can't magically widen the carpal tunnel, but it can offer significant relief in several ways:

~ Promoting nerve gliding: Specific massage techniques can help the median nerve move more freely within the carpal tunnel, reducing irritation.

~ Releasing muscle tension: Tight muscles in your forearm and hand can contribute to CTS. Massage helps relax these muscles, creating more space for the nerve.

~ Reducing inflammation: Gentle massage techniques can help reduce inflammation around the median nerve, easing pressure and discomfort.

~ Improving circulation: Massage increases blood flow, which can deliver nutrients to the nerve and promote healing.

~ Boosting pain relief: Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, your body's natural painkillers, offering temporary relief from CTS symptoms.

Before you resign yourself to life with CTS, consider the power of massage therapy. Our experienced massage therapists can create a personalized treatment plan to help you ease the tingling and regain hand & wrist comfort.

Massage therapy is not a cure for CTS, but it can be a powerful tool for managing symptoms and improving your quality of life 🫶
