Carpal tunnel massage therapy TorontoCarpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel is a broad label that can oversimplify what's going on — hand numbness and tingling can come from several compression points (the neck, the thoracic outlet, the forearm), not just the wrist. That being said, carpal tunnel syndrome is a thing that people have.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

Numbness and tingling in the thumb and first fingers, often worse at night. Common in pregnancy.

Deep tissue massage through the forearm loosens muscles and takes strain off the carpal tunnel. Wrist joint mobilizations matter too, especially if weight-bearing in a push-up position bothers you — that's often a strong sign the small wrist bones aren't moving well (I sometimes call it lunate misalignment). Forearm strengthening, stretching and ongoing wrist care round things out. Ergonomic wrist braces and keyboard wrist supports help desk workers, and for more debilitating long-term cases, a wrist brace for sleep can make a real difference — many people tuck their wrists into bent positions while sleeping, which compresses the tunnel and can even wake them with pain.
