What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve condition that affects the hand and wrist. It occurs when the median nerve—which runs from the forearm into the palm—is compressed at the wrist within a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel.

This compression causes numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. CTS is especially common among office workers, manual laborers, musicians, and people who use repetitive hand motions.

Our Approach at Myo Physio at Home

At Myo Physio at Home, we provide non-surgical, movement-based treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—right in the comfort of your home. Our approach includes:

  • Thorough assessment of your wrist, posture, and work habits

  • Targeted physiotherapy and nerve gliding exercises

  • Manual release of tight tissues compressing the nerve

  • Chiropractic adjustments to relieve nerve pressure

  • Ergonomic and lifestyle modifications for long-term relief

We focus on treating the root cause, not just the symptoms, to help you regain full hand function and prevent recurrence.

Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

1. Repetitive Hand Movements

Typing, using a mouse, or repetitive gripping over time

2. Poor Ergonomics

Incorrect hand posture while working or using devices

3. Wrist Injuries

Fractures, sprains, or swelling from trauma

4. Inflammation

Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis

5. Hormonal Changes

Common during pregnancy or menopause

6. Diabetes or Thyroid Disorders

These conditions can increase fluid retention and nerve compression

7. Genetics

Some people naturally have a narrower carpal tunnel
