Today's Carpal Tunnel Radio guest was Elizabeth Eckert, an expert in many, many things that all affect our bodies! 

She is the author of "Word Cures: How to Keep Stupid Excuses from Sobotaging Your Health" and also "Stress in the Backgroung: How to Thrive in a High-Stress World."

Elizabeth's website is http://www.WordCures.com

Elizabeth answered questions about the causes and help for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other hand-wrist-arm symptoms.  She explained trigger points--what causes them, what they are, and what they do.  And, more!

She believes the first step for someone with carpal tunnel issues is to do whatever you can to correct your posture.  Why?  Because poor or collapsed posture (also called forward head posture) is a major cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

After Elizabeth left us, I spent the second half of the show expanding on the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Fact Sheet from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health. 

You know, I love doctors and medicine, but so often they just plain overlook the roles of muscles and soft tissues in pain syndromes.

There's a ton of information in this one-hour show and I did it just for you!
