Today we expect to have a real live massage therapist who will help us understand why Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens and what we can do to get rid of it naturally.

Today on Carpal Tunnel Radio our guest was author Gini Maddocks.  Gini explained how your mind and body work together and how each affects the other.  Gini's background is similar to mine with massage and stress management and I always enjoy sharing radio time with her.

You can find Gini at http://www.HolisticMatters.net   You can get her free weekly Uplift messages in your email box by signing up at her website.  They truly are uplifting and helpful.  You're gonna love them.

How can your posture make you feel better or worse?  We talked about that and we talked about the two things that act to help us feel really well.  What are the two parts?  Your Mind and your Body.  There is an interrelationship between them and we need to be conscious of each.

I'm Kathryn Merrow, The Pain Relief Coach.  I invite you to join me every Thursday at Noon EST at Carpal Tunnel Radio.  You can always find more information about how to get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms at http://CarpalTunnelPainRelief.com

Can massage therapy help you get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms?  You bet!

Massage has so many benefits it's almost a miracle drug--in fact, it is a miracle drug!

Who me, biased?  You bet I am! 

And what's with all the exclamation points?

It's because when I talk about massage therapy I get excited!  I LOVE it!  Almost 20 years in the field has given me a lot of first-hand reasons to love massage.

Massage is old medicine and it's powerful medicine.  It has no side effects (although some people may have some tenderness following the first session or two).  It's used all over the world--especially in "less sophisticated and high-med-tech" countries.  Those countries use natural remedies instead of drugs and surgery.  Why?  Costs much less, works well, and anyone can give massage. 

Therapeutic massage relieves pain and soft tissue dysfunction.  It's a natural drug.  One big-name researcher said if we all had a massage a week, we would have 90% less illness.  90%! 

Why isn't the medical community jumping all over this?  Because most of them just don't understand how the body works--what causes pain.  That's not what medical schools teach.  Only a few medical specialists truly understand the roles of muscles in pain.

Massage gets your muscles back into condition, supple and movable, as they are supposed to be.  It relieves the tension in muscles from overuse.  It boosts immune systems and this has been documented with bonafide medical research.

Can massage help you get rid of your carpal tunnel symptoms?  You bet!

Today at Carpal Tunnel Radio we talked about questions you can ask your doctor or surgeon before you make the decision to have a carpal tunnel release surgery.
 
An educated patient is one who will get well more quickly and be able to make better decisions.  You don't know how many times I've asked a client why they had or were going to have a surgical procedure or what a medicine they take was for and they said:  "I don't know.  The doctor told me to have it or do it or take it."

Your doctor is a well-educated person and knows a whole lot more than I do about a whole lot of things, but no one can know everything.  Sometimes doctors, just like the rest of us, make a decision based on limited information.  That's why you have to educate yourself about your own health and body!

And, please remember, I'm not a doctor.  I'm The Pain Relief Coach.  Because I have learned so much over the years about how bodies are--what makes them happy or unhappy--my job now is to share that with you.  Your job is to do what you have to do to get better.

When you understand the cause(s) of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you can make the necessary changes in your life, diet, muscles or posture to get rid of your symptoms.

Your symptoms happened for a reason.  Get rid of the reason and you can have carpal tunnel pain relief.
