Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a squeezing of the median nerve, which carries messages between the thumb, index finger, and middle finger and the brain. Symptoms include numbness in the fingers, pain that extends into the elbows and shoulders, and tingling or burning sensations in the hand, wrist, and forearm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can result from repeated physical stress on the hands and wrists.

Qigong (or Chi Kung) has been used for thousands of years to reduce tension, balance emotions, and relieve stress. The exercises of Qigong are gentle, simple, and non-strenuous stretches, postures and movements. Regular practice of Qigong greatly strengthens the muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
