Caryl A. Washburn Develops Non-Invasive CTS Therapy

After studying the many varied treatment philosophies, Caryl Washburn began to develop her own treatment methodology called the Washburn Approach. Arising from this approach, a simple tool was developed to address Repetitive Stress Disorders. The CTExerciser works well because it treats the cause of repetitive stress injuries (such as CTS) and not the symptoms described below.

A study by the Mayo clinic that was recently published in Neurology, found that of all the computer users who participated in the survey, only 10.5 percent met the clinical criteria for CTS. This incidence is comparable to that found in the general population.

Contributing Factors

Be aware of the health conditions that are predispositions for carpal tunnel syndrome. Fluid retention is a major contributor to repetitive stress injuries, and occurs in women during pregnancy and in those who suffer from Pre Menstrual Syndrome or use contraceptive pills. Diabetes and Thyroid problems are systemic disorders that tend to stress the nerves, thereby inhibiting the normal function of the fascia tissues. Additionally, a pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency can also induce the symptoms of Cumulative Trauma Dysfunction. If any of these conditions applies to you, you are at risk for this disorder. With the CTExerciser, you can protect you from unnecessary pain and suffering that could potentially disable you.
