hey guys dr. Berg here in this video I’m going to show you how to fix carpal tunnel syndrome okay check this out okay guys so if someone has carpal tunnel syndrome let’s say she has carpal tunnel on the left wrist okay the way we’re going to fix this is we’re going to work on the opposite wrist that’s right this is completely different than what most people do so you don’t want to work on the actual opposite wrist we want to work on the muscles that attach to the wrist both on the front side and the back side and I know you’re going to be asking what if you have carpal tunnel on both sides I’ll get to that next but let’s pretend it’s only on the left and we’re going to actually come and massage these muscles on the opposite side and what you’re going to find is it’s going to be very very very very tender on the on the opposite side and the person is going to go why is that so tender it’s just the way the brain is sending it’s sending signals more on this side now because it’s blocked on that side so we’re kind of retraining the brain to to neutralize the pain signals into her left wrist so I’m going to massage all these muscles right here right up into this elbow very important then I’m going to get on the outside and work on these muscles right here and you just need to stimulate the muscles really good and what will happen is this side here I like to have them move this wrist while I’m doing this okay and then you want to rate first rate the pain in the side ten being really bad you’ll be no pain and then ask them how does it feel now and they might say a five and I’ll say where did it move and she might say well it’s more over here now okay then I’m going to work on the muscles that oppose that side and work on those and I’ll strip this all the way down through here okay a couple minutes and then she’ll go oh yeah it’s getting better and better and then I might have to do the the inside a little bit more okay so that’s a simple technique to fix carpal tunnel syndrome on one side all right now if it’s on both sides what you have to do is you want to do once at a time usually the side that started first just pretend that’s the worst one you can do the opposite side then I’m also going to work on this side okay that’s going to work about seventy percent of time okay so that was pretty simple wasn’t it so here’s your next step go ahead and apply this to someone else or have them apply to you and post your comments below thanks for watching hey guys thank you so much for watching please click the subscribe button and I will see you in the next video
