Office syndrome is a condition that is caused by repetitive movement of the hands and fingers over a long period of time. This causes excessive pressure on the nerves in the wrists and fingers. The symptoms include pain, tingling, and numbness in the hands.
Office syndrome can be easily cured with a deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage works by releasing tension from the muscles and tendons, thereby reducing pain and increasing blood flow to affected areas. This helps to heal injured tissues such as ligaments or tendons as well as ease muscle soreness. Deep tissue massage also increases flexibility, which reduces stress on joints and muscles.
Deep tissue massage involves applying pressure directly into muscle tissue using thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees, and sometimes even feet! It is best suited for people who have been working long hours at their desk jobs or typing on computer keyboards all day long without taking breaks to stretch out their hands and arms.
