Date: 2023-06-20

Nerve and tendon gliding exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome involve gentle and controlled movements of the fingers, hand, and wrist to help alleviate symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. Imagine gently flexing and extending your hand like a graceful dance to prevent the nerve and tendons from getting stuck. These exercises aim to improve the flexibility and mobility of the nerve and tendons within the carpal tunnel, a narrow passage in the wrist. By performing these exercises regularly, under the guidance of a healthcare professional, you can help reduce discomfort, promote better circulation, and potentially enhance the function of your hand in cases of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
