You are knock out on bed because of a hard day’s work. Most likely, nothing can awaken you, not even the noisy barking dog of your neighbor or the chilly breeze caressing your skin. However, you wake up to those pins and needles sensation on your right hand. You might still be very lazy to stand up but you just have to shake off the pain away and get back to sleep.

It is actually a typical situation especially for those with CTS. The carpal tunnel of your wrist contains the median nerve that has been compressed while your have flexed your wrist. If you have a condition that leads to swelling, the swelling may in turn pinch the median nerve and thereby bring about CTS.

Over time there have been several treatments for the carpal tunnel syndrome. A lot of people may want to resolve to surgery because of the quick remedy it offers. However, medical practitioners would advise that choosing the conventional is best because it does not have any side- effects that go along with it.

Here are some of the best carpal tunnel massage techniques for relief and relaxation NEUROMUSCULAR MASSAGE is a form of carpal tunnel massage that is applied to individual muscles. It is used to increase blood flow, reduce pain and release pressure on nerves caused by injuries to muscles and other soft tissue. Neuromuscular massage helps release trigger points, intense knots of tense muscle can also “refer” pain to other parts of the body. Relieving a tense trigger point in your back, for example, could help ease pain in your shoulder or reduce headaches.

ROLFING seeks to re-educate your body about posture. When posture is poor, it can be reflected in a number of health problems, such as backaches, headaches and joint pain. This type of carpal tunnel massage seeks to realign and straighten your body by working the myofascia, the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles and helps hold your body together. The ten-session, head-to-toe Rolfing program used to be rather painful, but new techniques that employ a therapist’s hands and elbows are quite tolerable and just as effective at improving your posture.

HELLERWORK is an offshoot of Rolfing that adds both mental and movement re-education to the physical work. In a series of 11 sessions from this type of carpal tunnel massage, you get instruction on how to break bad posture habits and you also get a massage that focuses on returning your muscles and other tissue to their proper positions. The result can be dramatic.

SWEDISH MASSAGE uses soothing, tapping and kneading strokes to work the entire body, relieving muscle tension and loosening sore joints. Therapists of this carpal tunnel massage use five basic strokes, which anyone can learn and use on themselves and others. They are effleurage (stroking); petrissage(muscles are lightly grabbed and lifted); friction (thumbs and fingertips work in deep circles into the thickest part of muscles; tapotement (chopping, beating, and tapping strokes); and vibration (fingers are pressed or flattened firmly on a muscle, then the area is shaken rapidly for a few seconds).

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY focuses on the skull and spinal column. Therapists use very gently pressure no more than the weight of a nickel to massage the bones, membranes and fluids that support and bathe your skull and spinal column. The theory is that the manipulations of this ind of carpal tunnel massage will reduce tension and counteract any physical trauma you may have experienced to your head over the years.
