Carpal Tunnel Pain and Massage Therapy

January 31, 2012

Is massage therapy effective in getting rid of your carpal tunnel pain? It certainly can be. Massage is OLD medicine and very powerful.

I believe strongly in the power of massage for carpal tunnel pain relief. Why?

1. Because massage works. But only if the therapist knows where to work for your particular symptoms and understands the causes of your hand, wrist and arm symptoms.

But you can't count on the massage therapist doing all of the work. You may have to ask for help from a

physical therapist or fitness trainer to help you correct your posture. Why? Because lots of hand-wrist pain comes from poor posture.

2. Massage is OLD medicine! It's been around as long as humans have.

3. And massage is all natural with no side effects.

You may have some tenderness or even bruising after a session of working on tight muscles, especially the first time you have a massage. That's just because your muscles weren't used to being touched in such a way. In a few days the tenderness will go away.

The first time you receive a massage it may feel somewhat uncomfortable especially if you have muscles that are really tight and bound up. If it causes too much discomfort, let your therapist know immediately that you would like him or her to lighten up.

As your muscles start relaxing, eventually you will be able to receive deeper pressure with less discomfort.

A good massage is a lot like peeling an onion. As the outer layers get peeled away the therapist can get deeper and deeper into the center of the onion. Sometimes it takes several sessions for maximum benefit.

A good massage will leave you with a sense of relief or relaxation. If the practitioner is working in the correct areas you will leave with less of the pain or uncomfortable sensation you started with, even after the first session.

You see, Muscles are the cause of most pain. And massage treats muscles.

That's why massage is such a powerful carpal tunnel pain relief tool. And you can go to a professional massage therapist (or even a student) or ask a friend or family member to help or even do it yourself.

And now I'd like to invite you to go to Carpal Tunnel Pain Stoppers (<-- click here) to discover how to do your own massage treatments. You can watch a video that will help you understand more about the causes of carpal tunnel pain and how to get rid of your hand, wrist and arm pain naturally.

Testimonials

"G'Day Kathy, Thank you very much for ALL your helpful info. My symptoms have improved 10000000% with back exercises and your input. I have found a very intelligent lady (here) who understands the importance of muscle and massage and exercise to stimulate the brain. Have sufferd for decades and was getting worse. I owe much to YOU and her. Cheers, - Garry Allen, Australia - PS I used to play drums in my own band. Guess what I am again doing - after 30 years. Thank you again Kathy.
"Thank you SOOOOO much! I felt better after just one night of following your advice, and after the second night almost normal!" - Lori S., Weston OH
"Hi Kathryn, I recently developed carpal tunnel in my right hand (9 months since I started noticing signif. tingling; now it is painful). The doctors have offered little more than suggesting braces and anti-inflammatory and what I find on the internet is all over the place and often extremely depressing. Your "page" is so encouraging. I have been searching for some ways to manage and reduce the causes, and so I'll be following the advice here. Mostly, I am relieved to have a source of information now that is helpful and positive. So thank you!" - Caroline Brown, by email
"My carpal tunnel is almost all gone. The best help I 'think', was my posture, next was self massage and stretching. I rarely wear my brace anymore. Learning that all these muscles work together has made me realize that the supposedely Carpal Tunnel was just a symtom of something else going on." - Beverly C., by email
"Thank you so much for your information, it is something I have never heard before. I am thrilled to try out these techniques and do think that the scalene issue might be the key for I constantly have pain between my shoulder blades, have big knots along the spine exactly where you say and do hold my head forward. You may have hit the nail on the head."--Riannen Schlosser, Lodi CA (concerned about carpal tunnel pain)
"Thank you for the link - I did do the muscle assessment and it is definitely helping. I will continue to do what's in this report and hopefully will avoid surgery. I'm very happy with the results so far."--Rose Curran, Austin TX
"I don't remember a lot of the stuff in the wrist pain booklet, but I remember the part about sleeping on your back to keep your chest open, and I do that. And my wrists do hurt less!"--Kay Heil, New Boston MI
"My wife, Dave and I are all sitting up straighter and doing some of your exercises. It is always a pleasure to work with someone that really knows about what they are doing, makes my job easier. Thanks."--PJ Caporuscio, ABC Radio & TV Productions
"Thank you again, that is also very helpful. Little by little, I am conquering the knot! : ) "--Katey Cooper, ProVision Creative Web & Print Design
"Really like your content, for purely selfish reasons. I've lived with chronic shoulder pain from migraines. Tried lots of things and your simple suggestions had an excellent response in my body. I look forward to reading and learning more!"--Patrice Dunckley
