Carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on a nerve at the wrist, causing tingling and numbness in the hand. Caught early, it often responds well to physiotherapy without surgery.
The median nerve passes through a narrow tunnel at your wrist. When that space is crowded or the nerve is irritated, you get tingling, numbness, and sometimes weakness in the hand, classically in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
It is common with repetitive wrist use, during pregnancy, and after birth. Mild to moderate cases often improve with activity changes, nerve care, and night splinting, and I will guide you on when a medical opinion is worth seeking.
I focus on easing pressure on the nerve, calming the symptoms, and changing the habits and positions that keep it irritated.
Gentle techniques and positions that reduce irritation of the nerve.
Guidance on night splints that keep the wrist in a settled position.
Adjusting typing, phone, and wrist habits that crowd the tunnel.
Wrist and hand work to support recovery and function.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I check your sensation, strength, and what triggers symptoms.
Nerve care, positioning, and splinting advice.
Adjust the daily patterns that keep it flared.
Wrist and hand strengthening as symptoms ease.
See a doctor promptly if you have constant numbness that does not come and go, wasting or obvious weakness of the muscles at the base of the thumb, or symptoms that are rapidly worsening, as these may need further treatment.
Book an assessment with me and I'll build a plan around your body, your goals, and your day-to-day life.
