How URBAN SPORTS & REHAB CENTRE Helps You Get Back to Your Daily Routine with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Urban Sports & Rehab Centre’s Holistic Approach to CTS Recovery
At Urban Sports & Rehab Centre, we take a multi-faceted approach to treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, ensuring that our clients receive personalized care designed to meet their unique needs.

1. Comprehensive Initial Assessment Every client begins their treatment journey with an in-depth assessment. Our physiotherapists assess not only the wrist but also the entire upper extremity, including the neck and shoulders, as poor posture or muscle imbalances can contribute to CTS symptoms. We also review your medical history, work habits, and daily activities to identify contributing factors.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan Based on your assessment, we create a customized treatment plan targeting the root causes of your symptoms. Whether your CTS is due to repetitive strain, poor posture, or underlying health conditions, we tailor our interventions to provide relief and support long-term recovery.

3. Manual Therapy Techniques Hands-on therapy plays a crucial role in relieving pain and restoring mobility. Our physiotherapists use techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation to reduce tension in the wrist and forearm, as well as to realign the carpal bones if necessary. This reduces pressure on the median nerve, helping to alleviate symptoms.
4. Nerve Gliding Exercises Nerve gliding, or nerve mobilization, is a specialized technique we use to help the median nerve move more freely through the carpal tunnel. This helps reduce nerve irritation and improves mobility, which is key to reducing symptoms and preventing recurrence.
5. Ergonomic Education and Workplace Modifications One of the primary contributors to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is poor ergonomics, particularly in the workplace. At Urban Sports & Rehab Centre, we offer ergonomic consultations where we assess your workstation setup and teach you proper wrist positioning. We recommend ergonomic tools such as wrist supports, split keyboards, and adjustable chairs to minimize strain on your hands and wrists. This is especially helpful for clients who perform repetitive tasks, such as typing or using hand tools.

 

6. Stretching and Strengthening Exercises A critical component of CTS recovery is improving the strength and flexibility of the wrist, forearm, and hand muscles. We design a tailored exercise program that focuses on:
   • Stretching exercises to improve the flexibility of the forearm muscles and relieve pressure on the carpal tunnel.
   • Strengthening exercises that target the muscles in your hand, wrist, and forearm to improve grip strength and functional endurance.
   • Postural exercises to correct any shoulder, neck, or upper back imbalances that could be contributing to your CTS.

7. Use of Therapeutic Modalities We employ advanced therapeutic technologies such as ultrasound therapy, laser therapy, and electrical stimulation to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. These modalities can help accelerate the recovery process and provide additional pain relief for clients with severe or chronic symptoms.

8. Night Splints and Brace Recommendations If your CTS symptoms are worse at night, which is common, we may recommend the use of wrist splints or braces to keep the wrist in a neutral position while you sleep. This reduces pressure on the median nerve and prevents the hand from curling into positions that can exacerbate symptoms.
9. Education and Self-Care Strategies Our physiotherapists will teach you home-care techniques and exercises to manage symptoms on your own. Self-massage, heat or cold therapy, and the consistent use of ergonomic principles at home and work are key strategies for preventing flare-ups and sustaining long-term recovery.
10. Preventing Recurrence Once your symptoms are under control, we provide ongoing guidance to prevent a recurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This may include lifestyle modifications, further strengthening programs, and routine check-ins with our therapists to monitor progress.
