Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is more than just a nuisance; it can be a debilitating condition that affects your daily life. Characterized by tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand and arm, CTS occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Whether you’re a busy professional, a dedicated gamer, or a passionate crafter, this condition can severely impact your quality of life.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy offers a non-invasive and highly effective solution for managing and alleviating the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Here’s how:

1. Targeted Exercises

Physiotherapists design specific exercises that focus on stretching and strengthening the muscles and tendons in your hand and wrist. These exercises aim to reduce pressure on the median nerve, providing relief from pain and improving mobility.

Example Exercise: Wrist Flexor Stretch

• Step 1: Extend your arm in front of you with your palm facing up.
• Step 2: Use your other hand to gently pull your fingers back towards your body.
• Step 3: Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.

2. Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization can help improve circulation and reduce inflammation in the wrist. This can lead to significant pain relief and enhanced wrist function.

3. Ergonomic Adjustments

Physiotherapists can also provide guidance on modifying your workspace or daily activities to reduce strain on your wrist. Simple changes like adjusting your chair height, using an ergonomic keyboard, or taking frequent breaks can make a big difference.
