Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from pressure on the median nerve at the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, evaluation includes nerve mobility, wrist mechanics, and ergonomic factors. Treatment involves manual therapy, soft tissue work, and nerve gliding exercises aimed at relieving compression and improving hand function.
Our Specialized Approach

- Oedema & Nerve Irritation ManagementUse ice, ultrasound, and gentle soft tissue techniques to reduce carpal tunnel swelling and relieve median nerve compression.
- Nerve Gliding ExercisesPerform specific median nerve mobilization techniques to improve nerve mobility and reduce tingling, numbness, and pain.
- Wrist & Hand StrengtheningRebuild intrinsic hand and wrist muscle strength to support the carpal tunnel and reduce nerve compression during activity.
- Splinting & Postural EducationProvide a neutral wrist splint for nighttime use and educate on ergonomic wrist positioning during work and daily tasks.
