What is the Muscle Release Technique?
This unique massage therapy technique combines compression, extension, movement
and breath to give the massage therapist a tool to provide, in many cases, relief from
pain in one treatment. With the Muscle Release Technique
(TM) a massage therapist is able to break up the scar
tissue in the muscles or simply relax muscles that have been tight for a long
period of time, thus allowing the muscles to return to a full resting length,
thereby increasing circulation. Restoring circulation to the afflicted area will
then in turn allow the swelling to reduce taking pressure off nerves which cause
the pain. Circulation must be present in order for the body to heal itself.
MRT is a treatment and
prevention for: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, Tennis or Golfers Elbow,
Chronic Low Back Pain, Plantar Fasciitis, Hammer Toes, Shin Splints,
Fibromyalgia, Trigger Finger, Sciatica, Neuromas, Knee Pain, Thoracic Outlet
Syndrome, TMJ, and much much more without drugs or surgery.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Release
Using the Muscle Release Technique
"Feel the Difference Or Your Money Back Guarantee on the Muscle
Release Technique for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome".
"If the Muscle Release Technique does
not meet your complete expectations, your investment will be cheerfully refunded
in full, providing a program of at least four sessions is undertaken. Because
the benefits of MRT are cumulative, I recommend a minimum of four treatments
before a meaningful evaluation can take place. Depending on the severity of your
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, this may require more than one session a week."
On the other hand, there have been
numerous occasions, when the problem was less severe, and when the client did
their homework, all that was needed was one session.
Carpal Tunnel Release
Session Includes:
- Dena's Therapy for pain relief prior to the Muscle Release Technique ( this
allows for deeper compression and easier stretching)
- The Muscle Release Technique for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Demonstration and instructions on how to properly
stretch out the Carpal Tunnel at home
- Printed instructions for home use
What are the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Symptoms can consist of pain, tingling or numbness in the
thumb, index, middle and half the ring finger. These symptoms frequently occur
at night or in activities such as driving or typing.
Where is the Carpal Tunnel?
At the base of the palm is a tight canal or tunnel through
which 9 tendons and a nerve going from the forearm to the hand have to pass to
get into the hand. The nerve that passes through this narrow tunnel is called
the median nerve. The narrow passage is what we call the carpal tunnel.
The bottom and sides are formed by wrist bones and the top of the tunnel is
covered by a strong band of connective tissue called the carpal ligament.
What is Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?
There is barely enough room in the carpal tunnel for the
tendons and median nerve to pass through it. If anything takes up extra space in
the tunnel, the nerve becomes “pinched".
This pinching causes the numbness and tingling in the area of the hand the nerve
goes to. The symptoms caused by the nerve being pinched in the carpal tunnel are
called “carpal tunnel syndrome”.
What causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Very simply put “repetitive
use”! Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by overworked muscles in the
forearm. From repetitive use, the muscle fibers get tighter and tighter. This
tightening process drastically reduces circulation which results in swelling or
inflammation in the tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel. When this
swelling is sufficient, it causes the median nerve to be pressed against the
carpal ligament which causes the tingling, pain or “pins and needles”
sensation in the hands and fingers.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Myths:
Myth 1: Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome can be CURED via ergonomics, such
as specially designed computer keyboards, support pads or changing the height of
the work station. Right? Wrong!
May help prevent CTS from occurring but these measures will
not cure CTS.
Myth 2: Wearing a wrist
brace at night and while working will CURE Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome. Right? Wrong!!
Mild cases of carpal tunnel syndrome may be helped by wearing
a splint or brace which keeps the wrist from moving. The wrist is then able to
rest, reducing the swelling. This however does not cure the problem.
Myth 3: Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs HEAL Carpal Tunnel
syndrome. Right? Wrong!!!
The swollen tendons occasionally can be reduced by taking
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In more severe cases a doctor may
prescribe cortisone. Cortisone spreads around the swollen tendons relieving the
pressure on the median nerve. Thank goodness a lot of doctors are realizing
cortisone can cause nerve damage. I wish more of them didn’t think the person
suffering from CTS has a deficiency of steroids in the arm. Drugs
do not heal, they simply mask the problem.
Myth 4: Carpal Tunnel
Release surgery CURES Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome. Right? Wrong!!!!
Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome simply treats the symptoms as well. Within
2-3 years the symptoms will return. Why? The carpal ligament is cut
to relieve the pressure on the median nerve. What happens when any form of
invasive surgery is performed on the body? Scar tissues
and adhesions form! The scar tissue will then place pressure on the
carpal ligament causing the muscles in the arm to tighten and shorten even more.
An Alternative Permanent Solution
To actually achieve permanent relief,
the Muscle Release Technique ™ must be done by a qualified
therapist. By using the MRT ™ a
therapist is able to break up the scar tissue in the muscles, return the muscles
to a full resting length, thereby increasing circulation. Restoring
circulation to the afflicted area will then in turn allow the swelling to
reduce. Circulation must be present in order for the body to heal itself.
In many cases, relief from pain occurs in just one
session. When this unique technique is applied by a trained therapist
the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome begin to disappear. The therapist will
then instruct the client how to perform this therapy on him/herself.
This technique is also very effective for sciatica, neck and shoulder problems,
low back pain, tennis or golfers elbow, foot pain and virtually
any repetitive use injury. In the short time I’ve been using this
technique I have already helped four clients with their carpal tunnel problems.
I have also used the neck and shoulder technique on almost all of my clients and
they simply cannot believe the difference it has made in their pain and range of
motion.
