Physiotherapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Do you feel tingling, numbness, or burning in your thumb, index, or middle fingers? Does wrist pain worsen at night or while using your phone or computer? Do you drop objects easily? If you are searching for a βphysiotherapist near me,β these may be signs of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, often due to repetitive hand use, prolonged typing, poor ergonomics, diabetes, or hormonal changes. Common symptoms include wrist pain, finger numbness, hand weakness, and reduced grip strength.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy helps reduce nerve compression and restore hand function. Treatment includes wrist and forearm stretching, nerve gliding exercises, strengthening of hand and forearm muscles, posture and ergonomic correction, and manual therapy to reduce tightness. Modalities may be used to control pain and inflammation.
What You Can Try at Home
Avoid prolonged wrist bending, take frequent breaks from repetitive work, keep wrists in a neutral position, perform gentle finger and wrist stretches, and improve workstation ergonomics.
