Forearm Massage Carpal Tunnel

Hi, I'm Theresa Murphy on behalf of Expert Village, and in this clip looking at self-massage. Moving our way from the wrist up to the forearm, you have all these muscles along the forearm that are responsible for both extending the palmer fascia and flexing the palmer fascia. You can use your opposite hand and sort of pin down these various fore-muscles, and you'll feel some of them are tighter than others. I'm putting a fair amount of pressure on these guys, and then I'm moving my wrist. I'm extending and I'm flexing, then I'm extending and I'm flexing. And you can use the pressure of the opposite hand doing the massage to tap into the muscles that are tightest. You can do it on the other side with the thumb. It's typically the extensor muscles that get weak and taut, right, because we don't do this as much as we do this. Fells pretty good. Depending on which arm you use more, will dictate which side you need to pay more attention to.
