Massage and RSI
Posted by No Carpal Tunnel Blog
Research has indicated that massage helps with pain from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or RSI. I have personally tried this many times with poor results. The problem may be that many massage therapists do not know how to lightly work on the affected areas. After a massage my hands would feel like I typed far too long. It would take a day or two for me to recover. I have since told them to omit any area from my forearms to my hands.

Without a doubt, the massage ‘therapists’ you used had neither the skill nor the experience to effectively deal with the pain causing dynamic in your forearms.
Some states are much better than others at requiring appropriate levels of education to massage therapists.
Washington, for instance, requires over 500 hours of education before it gives out a license.
California has no state license. It’s all by city and county.
So in California and other similar states, it’s common to become a massage ‘therapist’ with two weeks of classes.
