Reflexology on Hands
Did You Know?
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)? The Carpal Tunnel is the bands of connective tissue known as the transverse carpaligament and the flexor retinaculum, that span across the 8 carpal bones in the hand. These bands form a small opening (or tunnel) that has 9 tendons from the forearm and the median nerve passing through it. The median nerve is usually situated against the transverse carpal ligament. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve gets disturbed either in the sensory or motor area. CTS is the most common example of a trapped nerve that doesn't function properly due to the pressure put on it by the surrounding tissues. Symptoms of CTS include swelling, numbness, lessened sensitivity, weakness of grip due to loss of strength, atrophy of muscles, pain and diminished flexion. Usually this occurs in the thumb and next two fingers and can extend to the rind ginger as well. Causes of CTS Two main factors: 1) The blood must reach all the parts of the body; and 2) When the blood gets there, it must have the right proportion of nutrients to provide all that is needed in that area. Tension in the muscle can slow the flow of the blood to the nerves, keeping them from receiving the proper nutrients for nourishment and maximum cleansing. Light weights and repetition are used when building strong muscle tissue. When a person in the workplace repeats the same movement over and over again, strong muscles will be built. If these are the muscles of the neck, shoulder and arm, they can tighten up and restrict the flow of blood and nutrients and the necessary cleansing process to the cells in the and writs, the continued abuse and overuse of these muscles leads to inflammation and swelling , cutting further supply of nutrients to the cell and putting direct pressure on the nerves in the area Reflexology and CTS: How do we deal with it? Reflexology is a major key. By working the reflexes, you can see a relief of stress and tension, an improved nerve and blood supply and thus a body that gets back in tune and able to operate more efficiently. Reflexology works long after the finished session and has been shown to be a great key in dealing with many maladies, including CTS.
