Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common nerve condition that causes pain, tingling, and weakness in the hands and wrists. Research shows that physiotherapy, especially neurodynamics therapy, can be just as effective in reducing symptoms and improving function.
At The Physio Crew, our expert physiotherapists in Tullamarine and Carlton specialise in hands-on and exercise-based treatments to help patients manage Carpal Tunnel Symptoms.
A recent study comparing neurodynamics therapy and exercise therapy has revealed valuable insights into the best approach for treating carpal tunnel pain long-term.
- Neurodynamics Therapy (Nerve mobilisation and stretches) – A specialised hands-on technique that mobilises the median nerve to improve nerve movement and reduce pain.
- Exercise Therapy – Standard wrist exercises and strengthening routines recommended by physiotherapists.
Key Findings:
- Both neurodynamics and exercise therapy significantly reduced pain and improved function in people with carpal tunnel Syndrome.
- Neurodynamics therapy was slightly more effective for pain relief and daily function in people with carpal tunnel.
- Exercise therapy was equally effective for grip strength and range of motion (ROM) for carpal tunnel pain.
- No patients required surgery for carpal tunnel release after 12 months of physiotherapy treatment
A combination of hands-on neurodynamics therapy and exercise-based rehab can prevent the need for surgery in mild-to-moderate CTS cases. Don’t wait for wrist pain to take over your life. Our expert physiotherapists in Tullamarine and Carlton can help you get lasting relief.
