A case of carpal tunnel

I have been observing a very interesting trend in the people I treat. Clients who are physically active heal much faster. Sounds obvious right? But why?

Many patients tell me stories that start like: “I think I hurt my wrist because I use my mouse too much, do you think I have carpal tunnel?”

What I observed in my practice, is that people tend to hurt themselves not because they moved that body part too much, but because they don’t engage the rest of their whole body enough.

Take that carpal tunnel for example. The wrist is really an extension of the arm which in turn is connected to the ribcage. If you sit at your desk all day without moving and stretching, the ribs become rigid, the breathing laboured and the neck muscles strained.

This will decrease circulation and drainage to the arm and the wrist. Add to that a million mouse clicks you do during the day that inflame your wrist and you have yourself a carpal tunnel problem.

If you are active and exercise every day, you body will take care of that inflammation and clear it up when you sleep during the night. But if your circulation is sluggish, the body needs more time. So it doesn’t recuperate and at the end of the week you can’t even hold a coffee mug. Sounds familiar?

A simple daily exercise routine is an easy solution. It will energize you, improve your mood and help to prevent these nagging problems.
