Today's episode of Carpal Tunnel Radio covered a lot of ground.  The carpal tunnel is a bony area in the wrist with space for blood vessels and nerves to pass through.  When the space becomes smaller due to swelling in your tissues (or sometimes an injury like a fall) there is less space for the nerves and blood vessels.  This causes symptoms in your hand and the area around your carpal tunnel because nerves don't like to be squashed or compressed.

We also talked about the other symptoms you might experience along with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Because everything in your body is attached and all the parts work together you most likely also have headaches, backaches, pain in your neck or shoulders, migraines, jaw pain or TMJD, or other complaints.

What causes carpal tunnel pain and these other complaints?  Poor, collapsing posture is one really good bet. 

The best way to "shore up" your posture is to loosen, or stretch, the muscles in the front of your body.  You started to collapse forward and get "forward head" posture because the muscles in the front of your body started becoming short.

The second part of the correction is to strengthen your whole back side from your knees to the base of your skull.  You can find simple easy ways to do that with the helpful articles at:

You have a smart body that wants to be well.  Your body follows natural "laws."  You must understand these laws and help your body get back to the same wonderful neutral posture you had as a little child.  You are worth the time and effort it will take to get rid of your carpal tunnel pain.
