Yes, but obviously you may have to do things a little differently and learn techniques that won't aggravate your CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome). It would also depend on how severe of a case of CTS you have. Some people have borderline or mild cases while other have very severe cases, the latter you would not be able to do much massaging without a flare up of your symptoms. After use of hands I would use ice, apply biofreeze cream and take OTC pain relievers, there are also some hand exercises you can do as well

It completely depends on the Insurance company that you were to go through as all rates would vary depending on the insurance policy you choose. Some insurance companies will not insure massage theripist for carple tunnel, which is there exclusion, but some companies will, as the company that I was employed with. Additional answer: just as an example - a recent client, Massage therapist, female age 35, non smoker, got a disability insurance plan that will pay $1000 per month if she can't work due to any illness or injury (including carpal tunnel). She pays $25 per month in premium.
