When treating people for CT using Bowen therapy I encourage gentle exercises and movement of the arms to encourage healthy blood flow to tissues and extremities. It is important to treat the back and neck of the person not just the arms.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful and debilitating disorder of the hand due to an increased pressure on the nerves that run through the wrist.
Symptoms include numbness, pins and needles, and pain (particularly at night). Anything that causes swelling inside the wrist can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Examples include:
repetitive hand movements
pregnancy
arthritis
Possible treatments include rest, splinting, manual therapy (such as what a chiropractor would use) cortisone injections and surgery.Report this post
