Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs through a narrow passage in your wrist, becomes compressed or pinched. This pressure is often caused by repetitive hand movements, awkward wrist postures, or underlying inflammation from conditions like arthritis or fluid retention. Common signs include numbness, tingling, or a “pins and needles“ sensation in your thumb, index, and middle fingers—frequently worsening at night. Over time, CTS can cause hand weakness, leading to pain radiating up your arm or difficulty holding everyday objects.
Targeted physiotherapy is one of the most effective non-surgical ways to relieve pressure on the median nerve and restore full hand function. Treatment focuses on customized nerve- and tendon-gliding exercises to improve nerve mobility, manual therapy to release tight surrounding tissues, and wrist splinting recommendations to keep your joint in a neutral position. Additionally, posture corrections and ergonomic adjustments are integrated to reduce strain along the entire upper limb and prevent symptoms from returning.
You don’t have to let hand pain or numbness disrupt your daily routine, work, or sleep. Our expert physiotherapy team provides comprehensive clinical evaluations to pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms and build a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to your lifestyle.
