Do you have pain on the inside of your arm down to the wrist and first three fingers? Here's how to perform median nerve flossing exercise for arm pain relief 👇

Irritation to the Median Nerve can lead to numbness & tingling and pain from the inside of the arm to your biceps, forearm, wrist and the first three fingers (thumb, index, and middle finger). It is common amongst occupations that involve repetitive stress like long periods of typing and computer work, hairstylists, chefs, nurses and paramedics just to name a few. 

My "Go-To" move to help my patients to alleviate the nagging hand, wrist and arm pain from this median nerve entrapment is the (🥁🥁🥁) ➡Median Nerve Flossing⬅ Mobilization of the nerve can provide pain relief, and this easy "exercise" can be done quickly by anyone.

1️⃣- Start by bringing your arm up to your side where the elbow is at shoulder level and bend the arm like you’re showing off your biceps 😉 then tilt your head away from the hand. 

2️⃣- Next, straighten your arm out to the side while tilting your head towards the hand now. This creates sliding of the nerve back and forth. 

3️⃣-  Remember, you should NOT feel any more tightness, numbness, or tingling into the entire arm when doing this exercise. If you do, please STOP immediately and give us a call so we can help!

As usual, you should NOT feel MORE symptoms from doing these exercises. If you are in Seattle, you should DM us to come in for a thorough assessment of your pain.🧑🏻‍⚕️
