Expert Interview - Massage for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Susan Findlay of the North London School of Sports Massage talks to sportsinjuryclinic.net about the use of sports massage therapy in treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Sports massage can be used in the treatment of CTS by lengthening and reducing the tension in the muscles which have been overused. If the muscle enlarges, this results in compression within the carpal tunnel, causing the pain and discomfort. By stretching out and lengthening this muscle through sports massage, some of the pain can be relieved.
