Carpal Tunnel Exercises

Passive Stretching During Sleep Is Best Exercise For CTS

Carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers often try to find Carpal Tunnel hand exercises, wrist and forearm stretching routines, and physical therapy for the upper extremities as their first step in trying to control their hand numbness and painful wrist symptoms.

The instinct to find a home remedy or all natural therapy to control their CTS symptoms is the right mind set for treating a chronic condition like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Since it is usually caused by a combination of factors such as repetitive use of the hands or a metabolic condition, such as a thyroid condition. It makes no sense to perform an invasive procedure, such as surgery, because the symptoms will return within a short time even after surgery.

So, it is better to pursue a proven home exercise and stretching regimen that you can rely on to keep your hands healthy on a daily basis.

However, many sufferers find it difficult to take 10 to 15 minutes segments out of their busy lives 5 times a day for Carpal Tunnel stretching and exercise in the disciplined way required to prevent carpal tunnel symptoms. Stretching is actually more beneficial with CTS than hand and wrist exercises. In fact, exercising injured inflamed tissue can actually do more damage than good. Also, some people find that their syndrome has already progressed to the point where doing intensive exercises or manual stretching several times a day, can be too painful and frustrating, even though it may likely be helpful.

Daytime Hand Stretching Exercises Can be Helpful, But Are Inconvenient

It requires tremendous discipline and is often very difficult to achieve the right kind of stretching exercises, even if you can make the time. Yoga instructors, hand therapists and physical therapists work with adherents to help them learn disciplined Carpal Tunnel stretching exercises. However, most find it difficult to maintain the regimen and take the time out of a busy life to stretch sufficiently in a way that will achieve consistent gentle flexing for the time required to achieve control over their carpal tunnel condition. Stretching once a day for 15 to 20 minutes is just not enough to overcome the combined effect of repetitive stress activities and inflammation that accumulates from day to day activities to cause CTS.

Targeted Proven Passive Exercise During Sleep Is The Reason for 97% Success.

Simply stated, the Carpal Solution provides a gentle long stretch in the right places for 8 hours per night while the hand is completely relaxed and in the restful restorative mode during sleep. You put the comfortable stretching orthotic device on your hand before retiring to bed and wear it through the night.

While you sleep the Carpal Solution Hand Wrist Orthosis accomplishes the necessary stretching of your soft tissue at the base of your hand and retrains the soft tissue over the Six Week protocol so that it increases flexibility, enhances blood circulation and relieves pressure on the Median Nerve. Once the pressure is gone from the nerve, Carpal Tunnel goes into remission and will often stay in remission for years following the six week passive exercise program.

Consistent Stretching Exercise is the Key to Breaking The Cycle of Trapped Inflammation

Carpal Tunnel is a cyclical nerve condition where once the cycle is started, it requires a concerted, consistent and disciplined effort over Six Weeks to break the cycle and dissipate the inflammation and decompress the soft tissue compaction that results in pressure on the Median Nerve. The Six Week Protocol with the Carpal Solution provides just what is needed for the majority of people to break the cycle and return their body to it natural healing process.

Once the cycle is broken your body can keep the syndrome at bay until you over-stress your hands and wrist again and push it over the edge. Often people will go a year or two without any symptoms after completing the Six Week Carpal Solution Stretching Protocol. Sometimes it comes back quicker.

But the thing people love about the Carpal Solution is even when they have flare-ups, they are confident that they can get them under control without any downtime or complications. They can stay active and not miss a beat. The Carpal Solution is a life saver for the busy professional.

It seems that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often flares up when you are under a combination of physical and psychological stress and can least afford the downtime for more invasive procedures like steroid injections, nerve conductivity studies, or Risky Transverse Carpal Release Surgery. Worrying about the consequences and the downtime makes the nerve condition even worse.

Get peace of mind today with reliable all natural Carpal Solution Therapy.

Grip Strength Exercises Should be Avoided During Healing from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Grip strength exercises can be helpful once a person has healed from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  However, during the healing process Grip Strength Exercises should be avoided.  These intense gripping exercises can create excess inflammation making CTS symptoms worse.   Do not do hand grip exercises or squeeze ball exercises until you have recovered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Most people find that they recover grip strength from normal hand activity once CTS is in remission.   Most do not need to do grip strength exercises.

Carpal Tunnel Strain, if left untreated, can lead to a wide variety of chronic and potentially debilitating symptoms, including numbness and tingling in the hands, loss of grip strength, pain in the arms, neck, shoulders, and thoracic cavity, and most serious, chronic sleep loss.

Ergonomic Mouse and Keyboard Can Minimize Stress

If you are suffering from CTS symptoms from work related activity, it may behoove you to explore ways to alter your workstation to make it more ergonomic. For instance, if you are a computer user, typically, your keyboard should be at an easy reach, your feet should be on the floor, and your back should be straight but not rigid. Physicians counsel that CTS patients should avoid resting their hands on armchairs or wrist guards while they type to avoid compressing the median nerve.

Together with your physician and/or hand therapist, you can develop a powerful regimen of hand strengthening and forearm stretching exercises.

One of the Best Daytime Stretching Exercises is Bending The Fingers Backward

One of the Best Daytime Stretching Exercises is Bending The Fingers Backward and holding them stretched for 15 seconds as shown in the picture below. You can do this stretch almost anywhere.  Doing this stretch over your head will help to drain trapped inflammation from your hands and wrist while you do this stretching hand exercise.   You do 5 to 10 repetitions of this stretch for 15 seconds each.  That is a set.  You should target doing 3 to 6 sets of these stretch exercises each day during breaks at work and when resting at home.  Between the stretches you bring your hands down to your side and rest allowing the blood to return to your hands and wrists.  This cycling of blood flow can help to disperse trapped inflammation from the Carpal Tunnel space.
