I never had Carpal Tunnel, but I have exhibited repetitive strain injuries.
In the beginning, like the first month, there was this pain due to giving massages that interfered with doing other tasks. For example: when I opened a door with a knob or turned the car steering wheel my wrists really hurt. I wore a brace and worked with the brace on. It made some of my clients uncomfortable to see that (understandably) but others didn't even notice.
Massage is like walking on your hands all day long. Do your feet hurt at the end of walking all day? Sure? Will your hands? Sure!
As I started into my third decade of doing it, I just wasn't recovering as quickly as I did in the past and that's why I'm crossing over into another career using transferrable skills.
