Shoulder Movements For Carpal Tunnel Pain

When you have carpal tunnel pain or pain in your hands and arm, it's a good bet that your upper body muscles are involved.  Why?

Because the muscles in your chest, upper arms, neck and back can all cause hand pain.

I found some movements that you can do in the privacy of your home with no special equipment.  The goal of these movements is to warm the muscles of your shoulders and upper body. 

When you were little, you used all of your muscles all of the time.  You didn't need a "break to move" or a "stretch break."  But now you do and these movements seem to be beneficial to warm and help relax your upper body and shoulders and neck.

As always, pay attention as you do these movements.  Listen to your body wisdom.  Go slowly and thoughtfully.  And when you are done, see how your body feels.

A little more circulation?  A bit warmer?  All good.  Here's the video:

Thank you, Rick.

Everyone cannot do every type of movement depending on the restrictions they have but this one seems to do a very nice job of warming the upper shoulders and surrounding area.
