Rating: - Get this therapy for Carpal tunnel now.
I live near where Doctor Montegomery practices medicine. My therapist suggested this book when I sought a second and third opinion about getting surgery for Carpal Tunnel pain. This book help me use a method for pain relief, discovered cause was not necessarily my wrist nor hand, and avoided surgery. If you are good at persistance,buy this book, read it, apply it and get relief. Understanding of why the pain and what to do about it is priceless.
Rating:  - A NOTE OF CAUTION...
I learned some things from this book. But her exercises surely didn't cause my carpal tunnel to go away as she seems to be claiming. Here is my cautionary note: Do NOT do those massages with your bare hands unless you have big, strong, very flexible hands. My hands are small and, like some others, I have found that using them for anything but the gentlest massage can actually harm them. There are all kinds of helpful massaging devices out there from large to small rolling squishy balls, to a ... Read More
Rating: - Helpful Relief
I've suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome for 18 years.
This book sits on my coffee table like a reference book. I find the procedures difficult to do on my own (symptoms affect both hands - when I massage one hand with the other my massaging hand goes numb!) so my husband is trying to do the massages on my shoulders, arms and hands when he can.
It DOES help my carpal tunnel symptoms, although I'm not totally relieved yet. I believe if we were more diligent with the procedures recommended ... Read More
Rating:  - Well-meaning pseudoscience
This book means well but is not based on sound medical principles. It freely criticizes other methods ("the failure rate for steroid injection is...about [sic] 75.6% of all patients"; "for surgery...the average failure rate, which is very conservative, is 57%...after 6 years the onset of these symptoms can [sic] reach higher than 90%". No references are given for these "precise" numbers, which are higher than typically quoted values.
In marked contrast, Ms. Montgomery cites no data whatsoever ... Read More
Rating:  - It really does work.
I am a 46 year old classical guitarist that has suffered may years with carpal tunnel/Rsi. I tried everything short of surgury but nothing worked. I also type on a computer over 8hrs a day. I bought the book. I went to see Ms Montgomery. In one session my pain was gone! I really mean it, it was the best thing I ever have done for myself. You don't need surgury, you need this book. With daily exercises I am completely pain free, I cannot recommend this enough, it really does work. Give it a try, you ... Read More
