post-op carpal tunnel syndrome treatment

[Guest guest]

In our therapy department we have noted a recent trend. Patients that

receive therapy treatment for exercises and education following surgical

treatment of carpal tunnel do better then those that don't. However, one of

our local surgeons refuses to send his patients unless I can find some

research that proves that these patients would in fact benefit from therapy

following this surgery. I feel this is a reasonable request. Thus, can

anybody know a good source for research on this topic and make my life a bit

easier. Thanks.
