Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) results from compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Repetitive motions, such as typing or repetitive gripping, sports, weight lifting can put pressureon the carpals and can contribute to inflammation and swelling, leading to increased pressure on the median nerve. This compression causes symptoms like tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand and fingers. Massage therapy targeting the flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm can provide relief by reducing tension and promoting better circulation. Working on the flexors, which are often overused in activities that contribute to CTS, helps alleviate strain. Simultaneously, addressing the extensors helps balance muscle activity. Regular massage sessions focusing on these areas can aid in reducing symptoms associated with CTS and contribute to improved hand and wrist function.

Hello. I appreciate your video so very much. I am a Pharmacist and have been typing etc for over 45 years. I am now a very healthy 66-year-old. I love to exercise- mostly medium weights. I have been lifting for many years and absolutely love the iron(lol) I have stopped as of late due to my carpal tunnel for fear that I am irritating that area?? I went to my hand surgeon and he had me do an NCV and EMG test. I do in fact have moderate carpal tunnel in my left hand and mild in the right. I am a righty. It has definitely hindered my sleep patterns at night. I go to sleep at about 11 PM and am always woken up at around 2 AM and have a very difficult time falling back asleep due to the frozen tingling in those 3 fingers. He just gave me a cortisone shot yesterday but he warned me and said it is only a bandaid and that I would need surgery because in his words there is NO cure for carpal tunnel except for surgery? I really do not want to go for surgery since I still have a couple of years I need to work and be employed and support my family. I am going to go for physical therapy at a local practice called Peak Performace and hopefully will tell them about your wonderful video. What confuses me is that most of the videos I have been watching show flossing and pulling the hands backward into extension BUT no one shows anything in remotely close to your work. . So I guess what I am asking you is are the doctors right in saying that I need surgery soon? Or can I help this more by doing physical therapy? I have been doing all the hand stretches like flossing etc. I stopped lifting weights which is really making me sad- can I do anything else like Push-ups on my fists that will make me feel good about myself or on something called Lebert bars on which I do parallel dips or can I do curls under that bar? I need to do something without making my condition worse. And if you could guide me onto other exercises you recommend please let me know where or which video to check on from you. I am also concerned about why most weight lifters or people who exercise frequently don't have this condition more often and if so how do they treat it? Someone has to know? Please advise with your expertise. I am at the end of my rope here and really need to know that I can do the things I want to do without hurting myself more. (for example, I was doing parallel dips on the parallel bars- but I kept thinking that I had been crushing that area by resting the palms of my hands on the bars with each rep- and that cannot be good?
Also, are any of these massage techniques able to be done to myself/ And if so can you explain where to exactly find the correct spot for the pressure pints?
Please help and thank you so much for listening.
P.S. I had an MRI of my neck and I supposedly have many bulging discs and stenosis. But they said for my age and the activities I have done over the years this is fairly normal. The EMG and NVC test revealed that my problem does NOT stem from my neck(thank goodness)- and that I do not have what is called double crush syndrome?) They still say I have true carpal tunnel.- if that helps you any. Thank you again.
I appreciate your liking my comments. But from what I have told you, in your practices have you been able to treat and keep Carpal Tunnel at bay without your clients resorting to surgery. With what I have explained to you about my condition- do you think if I do my own therapy and go to physical therapy- can I hopefully avoid surgery. As for loss of musculature in my hands- I work very hard on keeping them strong by doing Ball squeezes and gripper exercises and quick opening and closing of my hands into a fist all to keep my muscles in my hands Stong. So, I hope that my hands never lose that strength as what happens with nerve damage. Please explain.
I'm early and I just smoked my wakeup 💨 I'm going to watch a few of these I love and appreciate when u do these type of videos 😊
I’m sure the colors will look vibrant to you 💨😆. I appreciate your support and feedback! Enjoy

Thanks for the message but is it possible for a patient to do self massage
Yes I treat myself. It’s not the same but you can use some of the techniques. Make sure your forearm has good support and you can do most of these techniques.
Terima kasih ❤❤❤
❤️❤️🤗🤗🙏🙏

Hi, I am a massage therapist. I really like the muscle painted on the body. Terrence.
Congratulations Terrence on being a massage therapist! Good choice. Thank you for your compliment
Thank you very much for the information. I would like to ask you about the paint for the body. What kind of paint is it? It is easily washable. Thank you so much.
I appreciate your compliment! The paint used here is a special body paint. Link for them is in the description. The students use regular washable markers. It is removed with regular baby wipes. It’s a great way to practice on the body & learn your muscles
Hola! Te escribo desde Uruguay me gustaría que los vídeos sean subtítulos en español. Saludos, gracias
Si le pusimos pero siempre tarda unos días. Regresa en unos días.
Hola desde México, Disculpe también así la técnica para la contractura o enfermedad de Dupuytren ? O es diferente?
Hola. Realmente nunca e trabajado con alguien que tenga Dupuytren. No se si estás técnicas son especialmente para eso. Lo que si se es que el masaje ayuda para cualquier contractura.
Great now I have to worry about damaging the veins during massage. Never thought of that.
😂Only if you are doing deep pressure against the valves. So don’t do deep Tissue pressure going down only going up towards the heart. I’m sure you’re fine.
Awsome video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to leave a compliment
Brilliant
Thanks
Are the same techniques used for the ulnar nerve?
Ulnar is on the medial side of the wrist. Slightly different place but pretty much same technique to work the forearm
Good morning ma'am,here in the Philippines,
How to avail your manual book about your lecture?
No I don’t have a manual book. I use Trail Guide to the body book. It is in the description
Hi, can somebody show me how to massage a tennis elbow and a golf elbow?
I believe I have a video under massage techniques.
Someone pressed near the little toe of my foot with his shoe for 40 minutes, due to which the mass of the foot was crushed and a pit has formed, it hurts a lot, it is not getting better even after doing many treatments, please tell its treatment.
Why would they step on it for 40 minutes? How did that happen? I hope you have seen a doctor!!!
I'm always watching your techniques because I want to learn more about massage...and this about carpal tunnel Im having pain in my hands and.i know it's CTS.anf I'm doing also while you massage the media and I try to press my ring finger left side and I feel like something fricking down of my underarm....why ?
Probably how the nerve travels from the axillary plexus. Check out the video on Thorasic outlet syndrome. Lots of times it starts from the neck & can seem like it’s CTS when it’s more from the Thorasic or cervicals. Hope you figure out what it is. Do you receive regular massages?
Hi, where can I buy that tool from ?

Hello Maria thanks a lot for this video it's really helpful for my work I'm your big fan
You are very welcome 🤗❤️. Thank you for your compliment
Cant see obviously because of translation on the screen😢
You can move the translation up ⬆️ so you can see
Can this cure carpal tunnel syndrome or does it just treat the pain?
Sometimes it’s just tightness of the flexors & extensors. When you work on them & loosen them sometimes it lets up on the median nerve. Depends on your medical history

🤗❤️
Mmmm😢😢 ok😊😢
Carpals drive the car, tarsals touch the tar 😂
I like that one too! I teach it that carpals drive the car Tarsals are with your toes lol 😆
@@MassageTherapeutics915 you made me think of it when you said the car part. I’ve never heard that cute association to remember it 🥰

You are so welcome 🤗
Hello, do you also drain the body of metabolic waste? I'm a student learning many different methods.
No That’s not my specialty. I’m not sure how that’s even done? Through the lymphatic system?
Been suffering from this over 20 years, Doctor told me I need surgery, but I am refusing, so will keep massaging it on my own
I’m sorry! I hope you can get someone to work on you. It’s difficult to do it all on your own. Best of wishes for you
@@MassageTherapeutics915Do you think I should try acupuncturem
