I like the moves in this video for carpal tunnel pain relief and prevention. Why? Because they use the whole arm.
Your arm may not be the reason for your carpal tunnel symptoms. Sometimes the cause is in your neck, chest or back. Sometimes the cause is a vitamin deficiency or other physical health problem.
Nonetheless, I like these carpal tunnel area stretches and I think you will, too. As always, pay attention to your body while you do them and move thoughtfully.
How often should you stretch? Once a day isn't enough. The more often you can fit in little bits of stretches, the happier your arm and hand will be.
Just one warning: Some people think that if a little bit helps, then they should do a whole lot. It is possible to stretch too much and aggravate things. I've done that myself. If that happens to you, cut back or even stop temporarily. Or, just don't do 1,000 stretches a day. :-)
