Relief for typing hands, tight forearms and wrist strain

Carpal tunnel symptoms often start as numbness, tingling, or burning in the thumb and first fingers, especially at night or after long hours at a keyboard. At Branford River Spa we use deep-tissue work on the forearm flexors and extensors, wrist mobilisation, hand and thumb release, and neck and shoulder opening to reduce the tension that feeds the median nerve pathway.

Your therapist will also check posture of the neck, shoulders, and upper back — many hand symptoms originate higher in the arm. This is supportive bodywork; if you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, we coordinate with your medical provider and avoid techniques that increase nerve irritation.

Frequently asked questions

Can massage help carpal tunnel symptoms?

Massage can reduce tension in the forearm, wrist, hand, and neck muscles that contribute to symptoms. It supports medical treatment but does not replace diagnosis or surgery when those are indicated.

Which massage is best for carpal tunnel?

Deep Tissue and Sports Massage is most common because it allows focused forearm, wrist, and hand work. Swedish and Shiatsu are gentler alternatives if your symptoms are acute.

Will you work directly on my wrist?

Yes — with your consent and within your comfort range. Your therapist will avoid anything that increases numbness, tingling, or pain.

Should I get one session or a series?

One session can bring temporary relief. Chronic symptoms usually respond best to a series of four to six sessions plus ergonomic adjustments at work.

Can I add reflexology?

Yes — Reflexology includes hand and foot work and pairs well with a full-body massage for overall nervous-system calming.

What are your hours?

Monday to Thursday 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Sunday closed.
