Keep up what you are doing. While there are some great and very knowledgeable massage therapists, unfortunately the majority aren't and don't do much more than relaxing massage. Another problem, which I'm not putting videos for here, is nerve pinching at the base on the neck. Tilt your ear toward your shoulder as far as comfortable and hold for at least 20 seconds. Pay close attention to your hands when you do. Does the amount of numbness change? Do the same on the opposite side. If doing this makes a difference, then you have a pinching in the lower vertebrae of your neck as well. If that is the case, neck strretches, neck massage, or chiropractic may help. Also many of the ergonomic do's and don't's for using a computer also apply to playing a piano. Have a video of yourself. How's your posture? Is your head forward. Are you sitting so your arms are always having to reach for the keys. etc. Hilma Thanks Kevin,

I am a professional pianist/organist and have been suffering with numbness in both hands for over 5 months. I've gone to 4 doctors who have not been able to diagnose the problem or provide any relief of the pain. I watched all your videos and have been doing the exercise you demonstated. My pain and numbness has decreased considerably. I have now scheduled a visit to a LMT for more therapy. You are a credit to your profession. Thanks again Thank you for the valuable information.

I work with my hands, and play an instrument, and have been having carpal/cubital tunnel syndrome type symptoms for a number of years. I will be trying your massage techniques, and I hope they work for me. My arm does feel nice after just five minutes massage. Also, your explanation of the venous and lymph systems makes a lot of sense, and I will be doing these exercises as directed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
