Thank you. Don’t like the other technique where your fingers go through the holes. This looks promising.

My question is about the placement of the last, short piece of tape. Why is it placed across the carpal tunnel? Will that not be alot like compression?

How often we can apply this technique, thinking about every single night right before bedtime?

Just my right index finger one side is numb… for the past week now. They say it’s carpal tunnel. Would this help?

I work in production, packing boxes. How well does the tape stick when rubbing against cardboard constantly?
