You've tried braces, stretches, maybe even cortisone, but you're still waking up shaking your hands out. Our robotic therapy is designed to release the tight forearm muscles that conventional treatments miss. Many clients report sleeping through the night in weeks, not months.*
Same-Week Appointments Available
Hours: Mon–Fri 8am–7pm · Sat 8am–4pm
Work becomes impossible: Typing emails at Kendall offices or handling transactions at Wynwood Walls gift shops. Your hand feels caught in a vice, unable to hold a pen to write or grip a fork to feed yourself.
Sleep becomes a nightmare: After your evening at Peacock Park or dinner near Joe's Stone Crab, you wake at 2 AM with constant, numbing, burning pain in your hand. Painful sleepless nights are the worst, shaking them out desperately while your partner sleeps.
Daily tasks frustrate: From drinking your morning cafecito before heading to Douglas Park to gripping your phone while navigating to Crandon Park, everything requires extra effort when numbness and pain take over.
South Florida residents don't have to live this way.
Years of typing and gripping shorten your forearm muscles. The tendons they're attached to still have to squeeze through a tunnel the size of your thumb. Something has to give.
Carpal tunnel happens when tight forearm muscles pull on tendons that have to fit through a narrow tunnel in your wrist. Your median nerve runs through that same space. Our robotic therapy is designed to deliver sustained pressure with vibration into the forearm flexors and pronator teres at levels human hands can't maintain. When that tightness finally starts to release, many clients tell us they start sleeping through the night again. That's when they feel like they got their hand back.
Clients often report they can:
Type for long periods without the constant numbness or tingling
Grip objects confidently without worrying about dropping them
Sleep through the night without waking up to shake out their hands

Approach: Wrist splints worn at night to keep the wrist neutral
Timeframe: Weeks to months of wear
Effectiveness: Can reduce nighttime symptoms but doesn't address the cause
Night splints can help you sleep, but symptoms often return during the day. Braces keep your wrist neutral but don't release the forearm muscle tension that may be crowding the tunnel.
Approach: Wrist stretches, nerve gliding exercises, and strengthening
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Helps maintain flexibility and prevent further stiffness
Stretches and nerve glides can help a little, but they often don't reach the deep forearm tightness. Some people do months of exercises with minimal improvement because the underlying tension was never addressed.
Approach: Cortisone shots reduce inflammation; surgery cuts the transverse carpal ligament
Timeframe: Recovery time varies by procedure
Effectiveness: Injections provide temporary relief; surgery permanently widens the tunnel
Cortisone can help short-term but typically wears off after weeks or months. Surgery is irreversible and doesn't address the forearm muscle tension that may have contributed to the problem in the first place.
Nine tendons and one nerve share a very small space
Carpal tunnel symptoms often show up when the forearm muscles get tight from years of repetitive use. The carpal tunnel is about the size of your thumb, and nine tendons that control your fingers pass through it alongside the median nerve. When those forearm muscles tighten, the tendons get pulled tighter, crowding the tunnel. That's why treatments focused only on the wrist often miss the real issue. The tension starts upstream, in the forearm.

"After struggling with sciatica pain for months, I gave TheraMax Miami a try. Mylene and Cassandra are miracle workers. The shooting pain down my leg is gone after 5 sessions! I had never even heard of the psoas muscle and how it can cause back pain. So glad my sister told me about this place."
"I went for plantar fasciitis pain, and it was such an amazing experience. All the service was unbelievable, from the check in to the end. Cassandra was outstanding, she was very knowledgeable and also very friendly and outgoing. Highly recommend it!"
"Thank you to the folks at Theramax, after 4 sessions my sciatica pain has been greatly reduced. I’ve been able to slowly return to the gym and feel that I am on my way to a full recovery. Highly recommend."
"(Translated by Google) A unique experience, the staff is very professional and friendly! It's worth a try. (Original) Una experiencia diferente, el personal muy profesional y muy amable! Vale la pena probarlo"
"I saw the website for Theramax when I was on vacation in Miami. My shoulder muscles were so tight I could barely turn my head. :-/ Waleska was able to schedule me into a last minute appointment and I am so grateful that she did! I am really feeling great after the treatment. I have also continued to use my percussion gun in the same spots, so the muscle continues to loosen. My treatment was certainly a success!"

We don't diagnose, but many clients who work desk jobs in South Florida describe the same pattern. Years of typing and gripping can shorten forearm muscles over time. Many clients tell us they didn't realize how tight their forearms had become until we started working on them.
Many artists, musicians, and creative professionals from South Florida come to us worried about their hands. Clients have returned to playing guitar, painting, and sculpting after working with us. Timelines vary, but many tell us they started noticing improvement after just a few sessions.
Braces limit wrist motion, but they don't release the tension in the muscles that control your grip. Many clients tell us they wore braces for months or years with no lasting improvement. Once we started working on their forearms, things finally began to change.
Many clients explore conservative options before surgery. Carpal tunnel release is irreversible and carries risks like nerve irritation, pillar pain, and incomplete relief. Many clients tell us they found enough improvement to delay or reconsider surgery. We recommend discussing all options with your surgeon.
It depends on how long you've had symptoms, how severe they are, and how well you follow care instructions between sessions. Many clients describe that same frustration, whether it's dropping a coffee cup at Joe's Stone Crab or losing grip on their phone. As the forearm tightness starts to release, grip confidence is often one of the things that comes back. We can give you a better picture after your first visit.
