Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Guide from Physionautics Do you often wake up with numb or tingling hands? Or maybe you’ve noticed your grip getting weaker, making it easier to drop things? If that sounds familiar, you might be dealing with something called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). At Physionautics, we’re here to help you understand what’s going on — and more importantly, what you can do about it. What Exactly Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Think of your wrist as a busy highway for nerves and tendons. One of the most important nerves — the median nerve — travels through a narrow passage in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. When this tunnel becomes too tight or crowded (due to swelling or pressure), it squeezes the nerve, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness in your hand and fingers — especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Why Does It Happen? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often caused by repetitive wrist movements or poor posture. Here are some common triggers: Typing or using a mouse for long hours Frequent texting or gaming Assembly line work or tool use Pregnancy or health conditions like diabetes or arthritis Common Symptoms Numbness or tingling in your fingers Wrist pain that travels up your arm Weakness in the hand or grip Feeling like your hand is “asleep” — especially at night How Physionautics Can Help At Physionautics Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic, we take a personalized and modern approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Here’s what your treatment might include: Detailed Assessment We’ll look at your wrist, hand, posture, and daily habits to find the root cause — not just the symptoms. Targeted Exercises Gentle stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and reduce nerve pressure. Manual Therapy Hands-on techniques to release tight muscles and improve blood flow around the nerve. Nerve Gliding Techniques These special movements help the nerve move more freely within the carpal tunnel. Ergonomic Advice We’ll help you adjust your workstation or daily routines to reduce stress on your wrists. Splinting (if needed) Wearing a wrist brace, especially at night, can help your wrist stay in a neutral, healing position. Why Choose Physionautics?
