CTS is a malfunction of the retinacular band, which acts like a rubber band at the base of the wrist to hold the tendons in place.  With repetitive overuse, bad posture, and poor ergonomics it is a recipe for disaster.

While surgery can temporarily fix the problem, it’s rarely a cure.  The true root of the problem lies in the neck, shoulder and humeral attachment of the arm bone onto the back and spine.

TREATMENT:  A course of treatment is 10 sessions.

1.  An initial intake to define related weakness, strengths and stresses.

2.  Postural and gait analysis and corrective exercises are introduced each session to strengthen the tendons.

3.  Acupuncture is applied to release the nervous system and allow for healing and pain reduction.

4.  Myotherapy massage/Tui Na, cupping and other techniques are used to release knots and improve range of motion.
