Physical Therapy For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Important Facts About CTS That Are Often Overlooked

Keep in mind doctors favor treatment protocols that treat root causes and are minimally invasive, because these treatments have high success rates with the least risks and complications to the patient.  Below are some key facts to guide you as you treat CTS naturally with proven physical therapy:

• The root cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is excess inflammation (lymph fluid) that gets trapped

• The human body is normally adept at dispersing inflammation

• Once the inflammation gets trapped in a tight space like the Carpal Tunnel, it restricts lymph channels and blood vessels.

• The pressure from the trapped inflammation pinches the Median Nerve causing Carpal Tunnel Symptoms.

• The Syndrome becomes cyclical when the lymph channels and blood vessels are also pinched.

• Your body gets behind the inflammation curve and cannot catch up without some outside help.

• You just need the right physical therapy to jump-start your body’s natural healing and disperse the trapped inflammation.

• Specific physical therapy will help your body gets ahead of the inflammation curve, and put CTS is in complete remission naturally.

• CTS will go away for many years once you have restored the natural healing pathways.

Physical Therapy for Healing CTS Naturally Requires Consistency and Discipline

The challenging thing about physical therapy (PT) is it requires consistency and disciplined application everyday typically for 6 weeks.  Most of us find the PT regimens time consuming and tedious with lots of travel time and waiting in a clinic’s lobby.  The fact is, it is difficult for most people to consistently perform the PT needed to break the cycle of a chronic recurring condition, like CTS.

The good news is, doctors have developed a PT routine for Carpal Tunnel that you can do at night during sleep.  The Carpal Solution treatment kit makes daily physical therapy easy and simple enough for anyone to conveniently fit into their schedule.

Not All Physical Therapy Techniques Are Helpful for CTS – Some Make CTS Worse

Often physical therapist get in the habit of using specific therapies for all hand issues.  However, for Carpal Tunnel certain physical therapy techniques are counter productive and actually delay recovery from CTS.

Physical Therapy to Avoid if you have CTS:

• • Grip Strength Exercises

  • Squeeze Ball Exercises

  • Hand Putty Exercises

  • Immobilizing Splints help a little in the beginning, but make CTS worse in the long run.

Muscle Development Seems Like The Right Thing, But Not Until the Inflammation is Cleared

When Physical Therapist see muscle loss and loss of grip strength, they immediately begin recommending grip strength exercises and hand putty work.  This seems intuitive, and can be helpful once you recover from CTS, but it is counterproductive to do these hand PT muscle development until the excess trapped inflammation is cleared.  What is needed is slowing down new inflammation and clearing out the existing inflammation, before working on strengthening the hand muscles.

The fact is, humans do so much gripping in their everyday activities, that once the pressure is removed from the Median Nerve, the muscles will normally rehabilitate just with normal hand use.  Once you have recovered from CTS, you can do the PT hand muscle development if you like.

Reasons Patients Give Up On Traditional Physical Therapy

Patients attempting to utilize physical therapy often fail.  Below is a list of reasons patient give on why they quit PT:

• Time consuming, downtime with waiting, travel, etc.

• Slow to see results

• Lack the discipline to continue the daily regimen

• Lack of reliable direction and constantly changing protocols

• Use of techniques that don’t work on CTS

• Poor technique and failure to follow the directions

• Cost of Therapy Visits

Disciplined Consistent Stretching for 6 Weeks is Key to Healing CTS Naturally

Physical therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) requires consistent discipline and can seem like a long process due to the need for a diligent cycle of daily stretching exercises and therapist massage combined with rest of the injured fascia tissue from the repetitive stress activity that has likely resulted in this somewhat frightening condition. Losing the normal use of one’s hands can be terrifying, since we all depend on our hands for almost everything we do.

Oftentimes, patients experience a roller coaster of emotions when trying to recover from the debilitating and painful symptoms of CTS. It’s almost impossible for proactive people suffering from CTS to avoid exacerbating or re-injuring the connective tissue in the carpal tunnel as they return too quickly to the subtle movements, habitual action of life- long hand and wrist use patterns and repetitive tasks that brought on the syndrome to begin with. Fortunately, a new soft tissue therapy is proving successful, helping over 97 percent of CTS sufferers return to work and the activities they love much more quickly. This remarkable new Carpal Tunnel Therapy is all natural and is therapeutic rather than just immobilizing the hand and wrist in a rigid splint.

In fact, rigid wrist splints pressing against the injured tissue often irritates the already inflamed and damaged fascia tissue by compressing it against the hard surface. Using a rigid hand brace is the right approach for broken bones or sprains, but it is counter-intuitive to natural therapeutic healing of soft tissue and repetitive stress injuries, like CTS. This unique new Carpal Tunnel Therapy is called The Carpal Solution and is based on intuitive physical stretching of the soft tissue in three key places on the palm of the hand. It is based on natural healing principles that enhance blood circulation to the hand and disperse lymphatic fluid build up which results in swollen soft tissue.

The subtle swelling of the soft tissue in the narrow passage known as the Carpal Tunnel pinches the Median Nerve and results in the tingling hand numbness and wrist pain. The Carpal Solution offers people a do it yourself physical therapy for Carpal Tunnel that relieves pressure on the Median Nerve through gentle consistent passive stretching of the hand just above the wrist at night during sleep while the hand is completely relaxed.

Developed by a doctor working with his patients with CTS and leading medical device designers, the Carpal Solution allows people to access the physical therapy they need in the comfort, privacy and convenience of their own home, without the cost and time constraints of driving to a clinic and paying for a specialist to perform the daily stretching therapy needed for six weeks. The Carpal Solution it the Solution for CTS for over 97% of patients with this debilitating condition. Given the poor prognosis for CTS surgery many people are actively looking for therapies that can be done at home that relieve their symptoms and help keep them active.

The Carpal Solution is one home remedy that you can rely upon. The Carpal Solution allows people to access in the privacy, comfort and convenience of their own home the proven natural techniques that musculoskeletal specialists have carefully developed over decades in their clinics. Previously people had to schedule a visit with a therapist or expert for weekly therapy, but weekly therapy for a chronic repetitive stress disorder is not enough. Now, with the Carpal Solution, these techniques can now be consistently applied in the convenience of a patient’s own home and schedule with minimal costs relative to hiring a specialist to perform the massage and stretching consistently over six weeks. It is the ultimate home therapy or home remedy for busy people suffering from CTS, because there is no downtime and because it is all natural there are no complications to worry about.
