Do you have wrist pain, numbness, or weakness that runs down into your first three fingers? You might be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and if so, this video is for you.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common nerve conditions, often caused by repetitive stress and inflammation that impinges the median nerve inside your wrist. Office workers, trades people, hair stylists, and massage therapists are particularly at risk. If you haven’t had a formal diagnosis, there are a couple of simple self-tests in this video that will help you get a clearer picture.

Carpal tunnel syndrome often resolves itself, but you can accelerate the healing process with the self-care tips and corrective exercises in this video. This simple routine works on mobilizing your wrist, strengthening the muscles, and positively stressing the ligaments and tendons of that carpal tunnel region. Let’s get started!

ANATOMY
The carpal tunnel is a narrow, rigid passageway of bones and ligaments at the base of your hand. The median nerve, which controls sensation in your thumb, index, middle, and part of your ring finger, and several tendons, run through the carpal tunnel.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in your hand and fingers.

EXERCISES WE'LL LEARN
1) Wrist flexion, extension, and circumduction
2) Wrist traction
3) Wrist loading
