Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is diagnosed when there is pain and weakness in thumb muscle. It is often difficult to open jars. There is weakness in hand, prickling, tingling, numbness, clumsiness or heightened sensitivity in fingers and hand. Symptoms can wake patient during the night.

Traditional treatment is to immobilize wrist in neutral position or surgically cut connective tissue.

Rolfing is very effective because it will stretch the connective tissue which will free the median nerve from entrapment. Pain will decrease and hand function increases. Eventually there will be no pain and the hand will function normally.

Repetitive use of hand and/or arm for typing, playing musical instruments, factory work, surgery, chopping vegetables, etc. Any motion that is repeated thousands of times every day for many months, or years can result in carpal tunnel syndrome.

Connective tissue that surrounds and protects the median nerve will shorten, thicken and tighten. Eventually the median nerve is pinched or entrapped. The median nerve runs from your neck all the way down your arm to your fingers.
