When a guitarist finds reliable relief from hand pain, it can mean the difference between finishing a tour and cutting it short.
“As a guitarist I get so much satisfaction from playing and performing music. But my hands take a beating daily. I have struggled with different exercise regimens and splints to avoid Carpal Tunnel surgery. As an artist, I will not have anyone cutting on my hands. The carpal tunnel splints are so restrictive and don’t seem to help.
I was getting desperate the last six months on a concert tour and found the Carpal Solution on line. It worked so quickly, I began to take it for granted that I had my hands back and stopped in the middle of the Six Week protocol. The symptoms came rushing back so quickly, I got back to the disciplined six week program. Now I find that I only need the Carpal Solution once a week or sometimes after a big concert program.
It is so great to have a therapy that works and keeps me playing reliably.
I recommend the Carpal Solution without reservation.”
Roberto – Classical Guitar Instrumentalist – Performer and Song Writer – California.
Whether they be acoustic or electric, bass or classical, guitar players experience a higher incidence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome than most other professions. It probably has to do with the intense way in which the Guitarist grips and strums the guitar with both hands repeatedly.
The Carpal Solution works so well for Guitarists that we get nearly 100% satisfaction from this dedicated group of musicians. Musicians share a strong fellowship and often share their CTS remedies with other musician friends. One passionate guitarist said, “The Carpal Solution is like a trusted friend, one can always depend on the Solution to come through in a pinch.”
How a Guitarist Finds Reliable Relief When the Hands Take a Beating
Roberto, a classical guitar instrumentalist, performer and songwriter from California, says his hands take a beating every day. He had struggled with different exercise regimens and splints to avoid carpal tunnel surgery, and as an artist he did not want anyone cutting on his hands. He found the Carpal Solution online during the last six months of a concert tour, when he was getting desperate.
Why Guitar Players Are Prone to Hand Symptoms
As the paragraphs above note, guitar players grip and strum with both hands repeatedly, and fretting, bending strings and long practice sessions add more demand. Repetitive hand use and sustained wrist positions are commonly discussed as possible contributors to carpal tunnel syndrome, along with other factors. For general background on the condition, see the NINDS carpal tunnel syndrome fact sheet.
The Lesson From Roberto’s Experience
Roberto says the therapy worked so quickly that he took it for granted and stopped in the middle of the Six Week protocol. His symptoms came rushing back, so he returned to the disciplined program, and now he only needs it about once a week or after a big concert program. His story suggests that finishing the full plan may matter, and you can read the Six Week Protocol to see how it is organized. Results vary, so talk with your doctor about the right schedule for you.
Protecting Your Hands Between Gigs
Every player is different, but a few habits are often suggested: take short breaks during long rehearsals, warm up before you play, and pay attention to numbness or tingling that returns after a session. Gentle carpal tunnel stretching exercises may also be useful for some players, and it helps to read about carpal tunnel symptoms so you can spot the early signs.
Roberto’s account is one story of how a guitarist finds reliable relief, and it is not a promise for everyone. If you notice numb fingers after playing, ask a doctor about it, and use stories about how a guitarist finds reliable relief as a starting point, not as a plan.
