Roleo is recommended for treatment of CTS and RSI by Dr. Sri Mummaneni, a Los Angeles physician specializing in occupational injury rehabilitation, as well as countless massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists for one simple reason: it works.

What is a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?

Pain or tingling in your hand or wrist may be a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). These conditions may be caused by jobs and hobbies requiring repetitive hand movements that cause muscle tightness and compression of the nerves that run the entire length of the arm. Examples of jobs include: dentists and dental hygienists, computer users, massage therapists, musicians, editors, designers, administrative assistants, golfers, tennis players, etc. Many hobbies and pastimes also require repetitive use of the hands; including knitting, crafts, carpentry, and cooking.

When muscles become inflamed, nerves can become compressed in the forearms or in the Carpal Tunnel, a passageway in your wrist through which nerves and tendons enter your hand.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) specifically develops when the median nerve, which runs through the forearm into the hand, becomes squeezed at the wrist. Symptoms are pain, weakness or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm or into the hand. And over time, may include weakness and atrophy of some of the small hand muscles that move the thumb. Successful treatments relieve the compression of the nerve, allowing it to function normally in the hand.

Contracted muscles also reduce blood flow, oxygen and nutrient supply, and can lead to problems resulting in additional limitation of hand function. Massage therapists have had great success treating CTS and RSI symptoms by stripping the muscles deeply to reduce inflammation and tightness, which in turn eases the compression of the nerves. The Roleo replicates these treatments.

Why people with hand and wrist pain need the Roleo Therapeutic Massager

Repetitive hand motion tasks causes muscle fatigue in the arm. Tired muscles often respond by tighten up. In the arm, this can lead to Repetitive Stress Injuries. Using Roleo to periodically massage the arm and hands prevents the conditions that promote RSI and carpal tunnel.
