Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Symptoms may include thumb-side hand tingling, night symptoms, clumsiness or weakness. Similar symptoms can arise from other locations, so assessment matters.
How physiotherapy may help
Conservative care may include education, task modification, movement exercises and discussion of splinting with an appropriate professional. Persistent weakness or severe nerve findings need medical review.
Common rehabilitation goals
- Identify activities that aggravate symptoms
- Maintain comfortable wrist and hand movement
- Support grip and daily-task tolerance
- Recognize when specialist investigation is needed
What happens at a home appointment?
