Ditto on the importance of daily massage. I found out the same thing by experience and seems the CarpalRx is the only thing out there that does the massage for you automatically. I tried it and it worked like a miracle. Best money I ever spent (I, serious). Now I can sleep at night (no more numbness) and I dont need my splints any more. Yes, it takes about a month to cure you, but this kind of therapy works like a charm and I dont know why everybody with carpals doesnt know about it.
