Sometimes pain that presents as carpal tunnel syndrome can be coming from the elbow, shoulder, or neck, so check with your doctor or physical therapist and get a proper diagnosis, especially if traditional treatment is not helping.
Stretching the wrist area on the palm side, or the wrist flexors, is a great way to loosen up the muscles and tendons that run through the carpal tunnel. This can be done with a prayer stretch as well as a wrist flexor stretch which can be increased in intensity by stretching the thumb as well.
Gliding the finger tendons can help break up adhesions that might form in the carpal tunnel area. This helps increase circulation to the area and move out inflammation that might be causing scar tissue.
Gliding the median nerve can also be helpful in breaking up adhesions and improving general movement.

Thank you! I have carpal tunnel, and hand/wrist arthritis. Bird dogs, down dogs, planks, even wall pushups now hurt. Hopefully these help. They did feel good.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! I hope they help too.

I had really bothersome carpal tunnel symptoms that were unrelieved by exercises and splint etc. I saw one ortho dr. who only offered cortisone (which can really be detrimental) or surgery. Then found a sports medicine doc who offered hydro nerve dissection. This was amazing! He used U/S to guide while he injected IV fluid (and some lidocaine so it didn't hurt) in and around the nerve to loosen it from the surrounding tendons etc. I was amazed watching the whole thing on the U/S screen. It took about 5 minutes. My symptoms were relieved within hours and haven't returned. It has been almost a year now. Thank you for your exercise instruction. I follow them just to keep my hands and arms in healthy shape! I love your instruction...and your pups 🙂

You're welcome! I'm glad you are fully recovered. 🐾

I ride motorcycles a lot. This is useful for the nerves because I feel stiffness in nerves of my forearm and fingers. Thanks Doc for this video, please post any more stretched, for bike riders in particular !

Timing is everything. I have been moving a lot of bricks, and what do do know. Thank you for this post. My carpel tunnel comes and goes, but lets me know when it's back.

Hello Dr. Jo, Love from India! Could you please suggest some exercises for my shoulders and arms, there's constant pain. And they jump or twitch (not sure what's the right word) at night. Thank you

[@AskDoctorJo]

Unfortunately, without a specific diagnosis, I don't know what would help since I can't evaluate you. You can find all my videos on my channel: kzbin.info, and you can use the search tool (the magnifying glass) under the banner on the right side to find specific videos/topics.
