Show Notes
- Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist, leading to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in your hand and fingers
- Massage techniques such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy help reduce swelling, loosen tight tissues, and improve blood flow, easing pressure on the nerve
- Specific exercises like nerve-gliding and tendon-gliding restore mobility by keeping tendons and nerves moving smoothly, reducing stiffness and improving function
- The Madenci hand massage technique, tested in clinical research, offers a simple three-minute self-massage routine that significantly improves grip strength and reduces pain
- Consistent daily practice of massage and exercises for at least four to six weeks provides lasting relief and helps prevent symptoms from coming back
