Carpal Tunnel Exercises Taught by Local Movement Specialist Brings Pain Relief to San Diegans

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Office workers who spend long hours at a computer may tend to forget the importance of taking a quick break on a regular basis. Over time they may develop postural habits that can start to develop painful symptoms such as wrist injury, back pain, shoulder pain,
numbness or tingling in the arms, hands and wrist.

A trip to the doctor to find out about these symptoms may have you walking out the door with a diagnosis of Repetitive Stress Injury.  Sometimes the recommended solution is to change your working environment, invest in ergonomic seating and office equipment. Others may even be told that the only solution for their situation is surgery.

For San Diegans who suffer from these symptoms, there is an alternative solution to removing their pain and even avoiding surgery.  Word of this solution that is quickly spreading through out San Diego is coming from a local movement specialist, Margie Murnan the owner of Lessons In Motion.  Margie is a certified Anat Baniel Method Practitioner.

The Anat Baniel Method (ABM) is a revolutionary approach to preventing and eliminating Repetitive Stress Injury such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the pain and limitation associated with it. Unlike regular exercise techniques that attempt to stretch, increase range of motion, or loosen the muscles in the painful area, the Anat Baniel Method movement lessons taught by Murnan, teach the client how to change the underlying neuro-muscular patterns that cause Carpal Tunnel.

Pain from a Repetitive Stress Injury like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the body's way of telling us that we are doing something that is harmful. By improving the ergonomics of our work station, we can try to help ourselves by changing our environment. With the Anat Baniel Method we change how we are moving within that environment so that we stop harming ourselves.

When asked how this approach to Carpal Tunnel pain relief works, Murnan explains:
“This cutting edge approach is based in the understanding of how the brain forms patterns of posture and movement -- good and bad ones.  It is based on the breakthrough discovery that poorly organized movement and limiting beliefs are the most common causes of pain. Since it is the brain that organizes movement, these Lessons are designed to provide your brain with the information and experiences it needs in order to form new, pain free patterns and solutions.”

People who receive movement lessons from Murnan, often discover immediate relief from their pain.  When her students continue to learn new patterns of movement, and then apply these new habits of moving in their daily life and work environment, often their dramatic results become permanent. In many cases, students of the Anat Baniel Method Movement Lessons can even avoid surgery.

Margie, shares that she has a deep passion for helping people who suffer from Repetitive Stress Injury, such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  She knows first hand the frustrations and traditional options for Repetitive Stress Injuries, as she too suffered from these same symptoms.  It was her journey to mobility that introduced her to the Anat Baniel Method. She used these movement lesson techniques herself to overcome an unexpected paralysis of her arms caused by Repetitive Stress Injuries.

A living testimony to the great success one can achieve to regaining pain free movement for quality of life, Murnan went on to become San Diego’s first Anat Baniel Method Practitioner. She is helping San Diegans who have been suffering with Carpal Tunnel also achieve great results for easy, pain free movement in her private classes and group classes at companies that offer wellness options for their workers.

She says “I have helped many people eliminate pain and learn to use their arms again. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress Injuries are preventable.

Wrist pain and burning sensations in the hand and wrist area is the #1 indicator that something is wrong. The discomfort and pain can also be in your fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder, neck, upper back or lower back. It is much better to do Carpal Tunnel exercises as a preventative measure while you are pain-free, instead of waiting for a major problem to develop.

The ideal scenario is never to develop symptoms, by working intelligently and respecting your body's needs. But if wrist pain or other signs of trouble do show up, it is extremely important to act immediately, before the wrist pain, numbness or tingling becomes a big problem. The movement lessons I teach help you move pain free.”
