Do you suffer with Carpal tunnel syndrome?

Do you know that massage can help carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing pressure on the median nerve, which is compressed by swollen tendons in the wrist. Techniques like myofascial release and deep tissue massage can break up scar tissue, drain excess fluid, and lengthen tight muscles and tendons in the hand, forearm, and wrist. This can lead to relief from pain, numbness, and tingling, and improve range of motion.
How massage helps
👉Reduces pressure: It reduces pressure on the median nerve by breaking up scar tissue adhesions and decreasing swelling in the wrist's carpal tunnel.
👉Decreases swelling: Techniques like myofascial release can help drain excess fluid that builds up around the tendons.
👉Relieves muscle tension: Massage lengthens and relaxes the muscles and tendons of the hand and forearm that can contribute to compression.
Improves blood circulation: Enhanced blood flow can aid healing and reduce inflammation.
👉Increases range of motion: By addressing tight tissues, massage can improve flexibility and range of motion in the wrist and fingers.

Common massage techniques
👉Myofascial Release: This technique focuses on breaking up adhesions and restrictions within the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding the muscles and tendons.
👉Trigger Point Therapy: This involves applying pressure to specific trigger points in the muscles to release tension.
👉Deep Tissue/Sports Massage: These can lengthen and stretch the muscles, diminishing their size and alleviating pressure.
*️⃣Important considerations
Massage therapy can provide both immediate relief and long-term improvement, but it often requires multiple sessions for lasting results.

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from counselling.

Sometimes, we just need a space to talk — to feel heard, seen, and supported without judgment.

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind, whether that’s stress, anxiety, relationships, or just the overwhelm of daily life.

As an integratively trained counsellor, I offer a personalised, holistic approach in a confidential and non-judgmental space — with the option of outdoor sessions along the beautiful coastline for those who find healing in nature.

If you're curious or would like to chat more about how counselling might help you, feel free to drop me a message.
