Help For Hands
Posted by: locallygrown | Posted on: September 1, 2023Do your hands hurt from repetitive routines or diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? (CTS) happens when your median nerve (in forearm) gets pressed, causing numbness/tingling. Motions like too much typing or even too much arm exercise can be causes. Stretching out your forearms and wrists is crucial for relief: (Chiropractic & Dry Needling help too!).
Wrist Extension:
Straighten your arm & bend your wrist back as if signaling someone to “stop.”
• Use your opposite hand to apply gentle pressure across the palm and pull it toward you until you feel a stretch.
• Hold for 15 seconds.
• Repeat 5x on each arm.
Wrist Flexion Exercise:
• Straighten your arm with your palm facing down and bend your wrist so your fingers point down.
• Gently pull hand toward your body until you feel a stretch on the outside of your forearm.
• Hold for 15 seconds.
• Repeat 5x, switch to the other arm.
Prayer stretch:
•Place both hands chest level, palms together.
•Press hands together, bring them down closer to your naval. You should feel a good stretch in your wrists. hold for 15 seconds/repeat 5x.
**Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise routine**
