Yoga Stretch for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

October 27, 2009

Yoga is very beneficial for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome although there are some movements that could cause your wrists to be aggravated.

The yoga stretch in this little video is good. Why? Because it shows you how to stretch and open the muscles in your chest and the front of your arms. This takes a lot of pressure off the nerves and blood vessels that cause your carpal tunnel symptoms.

At the same time, this movement can also help you strengthen the muscles in your back. Having a strong back is very beneficial.

NOTICE: The model's head is held OVER her body. She is not allowing it to move forward. This is good. You want to do the same--hold your head over your body--so be aware and make corrections.

If this movement seems too much for you at first, don't give up. Just practice taking your arms as far as it feels like a reasonably comfortable stretch. In time, your muscles will become able to do this with more comfort.

Testimonials

"G'Day Kathy, Thank you very much for ALL your helpful info. My symptoms have improved 10000000% with back exercises and your input. I have found a very intelligent lady (here) who understands the importance of muscle and massage and exercise to stimulate the brain. Have sufferd for decades and was getting worse. I owe much to YOU and her. Cheers, - Garry Allen, Australia - PS I used to play drums in my own band. Guess what I am again doing - after 30 years. Thank you again Kathy.
"Thank you SOOOOO much! I felt better after just one night of following your advice, and after the second night almost normal!" - Lori S., Weston OH
"Hi Kathryn, I recently developed carpal tunnel in my right hand (9 months since I started noticing signif. tingling; now it is painful). The doctors have offered little more than suggesting braces and anti-inflammatory and what I find on the internet is all over the place and often extremely depressing. Your "page" is so encouraging. I have been searching for some ways to manage and reduce the causes, and so I'll be following the advice here. Mostly, I am relieved to have a source of information now that is helpful and positive. So thank you!" - Caroline Brown, by email
"My carpal tunnel is almost all gone. The best help I 'think', was my posture, next was self massage and stretching. I rarely wear my brace anymore. Learning that all these muscles work together has made me realize that the supposedely Carpal Tunnel was just a symtom of something else going on." - Beverly C., by email
"Thank you so much for your information, it is something I have never heard before. I am thrilled to try out these techniques and do think that the scalene issue might be the key for I constantly have pain between my shoulder blades, have big knots along the spine exactly where you say and do hold my head forward. You may have hit the nail on the head."--Riannen Schlosser, Lodi CA (concerned about carpal tunnel pain)
"Thank you for the link - I did do the muscle assessment and it is definitely helping. I will continue to do what's in this report and hopefully will avoid surgery. I'm very happy with the results so far."--Rose Curran, Austin TX
"I don't remember a lot of the stuff in the wrist pain booklet, but I remember the part about sleeping on your back to keep your chest open, and I do that. And my wrists do hurt less!"--Kay Heil, New Boston MI
"My wife, Dave and I are all sitting up straighter and doing some of your exercises. It is always a pleasure to work with someone that really knows about what they are doing, makes my job easier. Thanks."--PJ Caporuscio, ABC Radio & TV Productions
"Thank you again, that is also very helpful. Little by little, I am conquering the knot! : ) "--Katey Cooper, ProVision Creative Web & Print Design
"Really like your content, for purely selfish reasons. I've lived with chronic shoulder pain from migraines. Tried lots of things and your simple suggestions had an excellent response in my body. I look forward to reading and learning more!"--Patrice Dunckley
