Can The Symptoms Of CTS And RSI's Be Eliminated? Yes!

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME:
Equalizing the flexor to extensor strength ratio can help create a "balance" between the tensile forces pulling on both sides of the finger, metacarpal, carpal, wrist and elbow joints.

Keeping the flexor and extensor muscle-ratio comparably equal in both length and strength, may eliminate the impingement / compression of the tendons, blood vessels and median nerve within.

Using FLEXTEND® to address this serious muscle imbalance often helps to reduce the symptoms associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other disroders affecting the fingers, hand, wrist and elbow.

FLEXTEND® IS USED FOR:
- Fingers
- Hands
- Wrists
- Forearms
- Elbows

REPETITIVE STRAIN JURIES Equalizing the strength and length ratios between opposing muscles throughout the entire upper extremity is necessary in order to eliminate tissue-to-tissue approximation injuries and injuries caused by tensile strain. (See "Causes of CTS & RSI's")

The FLEXTEND®-AC is a highly acclaimed training system that is used by therapists, doctors, athletes, trainers and consumers to address injuries / disorders affecting the upper extremity.

FLEXTEND®-AC IS USED FOR:
- Fingers
- Hands
- Wrists
- Forearms
- Elbows
- Upper Arms
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Back

REFERENCE MATERIALS:

• "If certain muscle groups are underused, opposing muscle groups will be overused. Muscles in either a lengthened or shortened position will be at a mechanical disadvantage and weak. The overused group will hypertrophy, and the underused group will continue to be weak. This combination produces a self perpetuating condition that maintains the abnormal posture and muscle imbalance." Philip E. Higgs, M.D. and Susan E.

• "Muscle balance must be restored with specific exercises. Otherwise, the already strong and overused muscles get stronger, and the weak and underused muscles remain weak. Individuals get good at using the overused muscles and must be trained specifically to recruit and strengthen the weak underused muscles." Philip E. Higgs, M.D. and Susan E.
