Condition and treatment guide

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Physiotherapy

Carpal tunnel physiotherapy guidance for hand tingling, wrist symptoms, activity modification and appropriate medical referral.

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?

The physiotherapist reviews relevant history, reports and precautions, then assesses movement and function as appropriate. The plan may include education, guided exercise, mobility practice and suitable hands-on care. Progress is reviewed rather than assumed.
