My massage clients would often remark about how strong my hands were and would ask if had problems with carpal tunnel.

Many years ago I was working long hours doing massage in a large resort. My hands became increasingly numb.

Yeah I was scared. Only a few years into a new career. Was that about to end? Then what would I do?

I thought I knew a lot about carpal tunnel syndrome from the discussions about it in massage school. Boy was I wrong.

The stretches I had learned there weren’t working. In fact they made things worse. I’d go home and ice my forearms or alternately dip them in buckets of hot and cold water. There had to be a better way. So I went on quest for a solution. More about that later….

But first let me tell you. I’m 66 years old and my hands feel better than they did when I was a teenager. After doing massage since 1991, I retired from massage practice the beginning of 2015 so I could help more people world-wide.

Do you remember a time, years ago, when the only time you even noticed any sensation in your hands was when you hurt a finger or they got really cold? That’s the way your hands should be.

How are your hands now? Maybe you just have tingling once in a while, OR maybe you get numb fingers when you comb your hair or ride a bicycle OR maybe you mostly get numbness at night maybe causing you to lose sleep. Maybe they hurt. Perhaps you drop things or find it difficlult to use keys.

Maybe you’ve already given up activities you love. Maybe you have to hold dishes in two hands for fear of dropping them. Or maybe you’re scared…
