Carpal tunnel treatment without surgery using tape

This is a taping technique for carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a form of  treatment without surgery which will elevate your symptoms. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side of the hand. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm.

The anatomy of the wrist, health problems and possibly repetitive hand motions can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.

This treatment usually relieves the tingling and numbness and restores wrist and hand function.

In this video I am using RockTape for this technique. If the skin becomes itchy the tape should be removed straight away, Do not use taping if you are allergic to plasters. You should not constantly re tape. You need to give your skin time to breathe between taping. I recommend a minimum of 5 days between tapings.
