Photo: workingergonomics.wordpress.com According to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects 3-6% of the general population. Generally, the causes of carpal tunnel are related to repetitive motion, such as typing at a computer for the majority of the day. However, other factors can also contribute to the cause of carpal tunnel such as genetics, diabetes, pregnancy and rheumatoid arthritis.
As stated in an article published in the Massage Therapy Journal, “Simply put, carpal tunnel is the inflammation or entrapment of nerves within the carpal tunnel of the anterior wrist, which can cause pain and numbness.” This pain and numbness can make it difficult to continue working, grasping objects, and affect your ability to sleep comfortably.
If you suspect you have carpal tunnel, it is best to get a diagnosis from your medical provider. Massage therapy can be helpful in bringing relief and lessening symptoms. When receiving massage therapy for carpal tunnel, a lot of the focus may be on the wrists. However, other muscle groups in the body may also be off balance. This is very likely to occur with muscle groups in the shoulders, neck and back, and even more so if you are typing at a computer for the majority of he day. The focus of therapeutic work would be releasing tension, trigger points and adhesions in the muscle and fibrous tissue.
