How Does FLEXTEND® And The FLEXTEND®-AC Relieve Symptoms Associated with Carpal Tunnel and Repetitive Strain Injuries?

FLEXTEND® is used with great success to help relieve the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and many other repetitive strain injuries effecting the fingers, hands, wrists, forearms and elbows, by correcting the strength imbalance between opposing muscle groups. The combined motion of stretching and lengthening the the strong tight muscles while strengthening and shortening the weak muscles, creates equality between the muscle groups, resulting in muscle and joint stability.

FLEXTEND® and the FLEXTEND®-AC are the best rehabilitation tools on the market that perform, without gripping, the corrective stretching and strengthening exercises necessary for eliminating muscle imbalances by stabilizing the finger, hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder joints, which are often the root cause in the development of upper extremity pain and dysfunction
