Carpal Tunnel Relief (3 Vital Neck Exercises)

The problematic nerve involved in carpal tunnel syndrome begins at the neck, so we can often make changes to this condition by using specific combinations of scapular and cervical motions to create precise muscular and neural stretches. And since we're famous for our brain-based approach, you just know we're going to enhance these exercises with a few outside-the-box ideas that take advantage of the nervous system's powerful sensory and motor loops modulating muscle tone and pain.
In this video, we cover how to gently stretch three vital neck muscles while also lightly tensioning the median nerve. Get your massage tool ready while your clients grab their irritation journals and warm up their eyes, and give these exercises a try!
Video Highlights:
-- Stretches for the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and scalene muscles
-- How to use your eyes to change muscular and nerve tension
-- How to use a massage tool for additional benefit

thank you so much! these are the only stretches that really worked for me and have saved me from an operation!

[@rikkitcup]

This was fantastic. I have carpal tunnel syndrome because of a super tight trap muscle and these work great. By just moving my eyes up and down, the release is instant. I hear a little "pop" in the back of my neck. And it calms the nerve pain in my thumb right away.

[@manojyadav-yr8ch]

Is there any solution of carpel tunnel syndrome

[@markj7567]

Helpful and interesting video, as usual, thank you. One piece of feedback though; I find the sounds you have added to the labels/flags that appear on the screen unhelpful and distracting. I kind of hope I'm not alone in that!

[@ZHealthPerformance]

Thanks for the tips!

I’ve had a cervical fusion and these stretches were not uncomfortable as others have been. Thank you.

I'm a full time guitar player and these stretches are INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.

[@rlmartin71]

Full time guitar player here as well. Did these stretches fix your carpal tunnel issue?

[@tunaficiency]

Full time guitar player as well 30 plus hours of teaching a week. Started to get tingling in fingers after playing a few hours. I’ve got terrible posture so I think I’ve got to sort that out. I’m going to book a session with a physio

[@alfrede.neuman8898]

Been having visible hand cramps bilaterally no burning or tingling along with neck pain in the scalene muscles left side only. I’m a musician and I lift weights. I thought the neck pain was from shoulder shrugs at the gym. Many thanks

[@Whatervererere]

How many times a day should I do this. How long for each time? Thank you

[@shamsatdin1]

Wow Doc your the best, i felt immediately my wrist becoming thicker and my bone density becoming harder, how is this possible?

[@cybermom41]

First, Thank you...this technique is amazing. I was wondering: Is there any type of neck/brace or neck support to use for sleeping that helps carpel tunnel other than adjusting pillows?

[@josdaily1153]

Amazing. Looking up and down really works

[@joyrichards9261]

This is the best exercise ,in one day my hand is so much better

[@rhythmscradle]

These stretches are unique. The addition of eye movements in your stretches is hitting the muscles differently, feels great doing them, thanks for the video, doc!

[@Ladycyg]

Thank you. I've been researching this all morning because "put on a wrist brace" was ridiculous. I knew it had something to do with my neck because laying down causes almost instant pain and sitting up and fixing my posture almost instant relief.

[@artsoul2406]

I too have hand pain when i lay down but not when sitting or standing...did these exercises help you?

[@LONGLIVEPOU]

How is your carpal tunnel now after a year? Did you need any treatment?

[@carolinthomas6022]

My self a software Engineer have severe neck pain, these stretches are very helpful.Thank you so much!!!

[@caphusnho]

You absolutely know what your talking about, thanks you given me some hope of a solution

[@thebloodandtheglory]
