⚡️⚡️ Anyone else feeling the tingle of carpal tunnel? Before you resign yourself to life with CTS, consider the power of massage therapy 🙌

CTS occurs when the median nerve, responsible for feeling and movement in your thumb, fingers, and part of your palm, gets compressed in the carpal tunnel at your wrist. Massage therapy can't magically widen the carpal tunnel, but it can offer significant relief in several ways:

~ Promoting nerve gliding: Specific massage techniques can help the median nerve move more freely within the carpal tunnel, reducing irritation.

~ Releasing muscle tension: Tight muscles in your forearm and hand can contribute to CTS. Massage helps relax these muscles, creating more space for the nerve.

~ Reducing inflammation: Gentle massage techniques can help reduce inflammation around the median nerve, easing pressure and discomfort.

~ Improving circulation: Massage increases blood flow, which can deliver nutrients to the nerve and promote healing.

~ Boosting pain relief: Massage stimulates the release of endorphins, your body's natural painkillers, offering temporary relief from CTS symptoms.

Before you resign yourself to life with CTS, consider the power of massage therapy. Our experienced massage therapists can create a personalized treatment plan to help you ease the tingling and regain hand & wrist comfort.

Massage therapy is not a cure for CTS, but it can be a powerful tool for managing symptoms and improving your quality of life 🫶

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can feel like a constant annoyance, at best, and a debilitating pain, at worst. The tingling, numbness, and weakness in your hands and wrists can make even basic tasks...

😣 Got Stress? Massage may help manage your stress and improve your overall health. How 🤔 exactly?⁠
⁠
Stress is both physiological and psychological in nature, and massage therapy can help both at once 🙌⁠
⁠
Massage therapy is effective in reducing pain, stress hormones, and symptoms and stress of chronic pain 🎯 Massage may also support immune function during periods of immunosuppression.⁠
⁠
💆‍♀️ Massage therapy can help your muscles relax and release tension 😌 allowing your body to enter a state of deep relaxation. This "relaxation response" can help to reduce the production of stress hormones 😥 such as cortisol and adrenaline. ⁠
⁠
Additionally, massage therapy can help to stimulate the release of endorphins and oxytocin ✨ which are the body's natural painkillers and mood enhancers 🤗⁠
⁠
Massage may also support immune function 🦠 during times of immunosuppression such as following surgery or during cancer treatment. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, massage therapy can help to reduce the negative impact of stress on the immune system.⁠
⁠
If you need help managing stress, consider adding regular massage therapy sessions to your self-care routine 🫶⁠
