by Tom Nicholson

It's another end to the day and your arm feels warm and tingly as you leave work. It's happened before, but eventually the pain subsides and you can go about your normal routine. Except this time it stays and you find yourself worrying about what's to come. Listen, no one should have to go through this and if you want to start preventing it from happening to you, try on some of these carpal tunnel exercises.

You should most likely think about adding a little spice to your routine. As you become more proficient in these exercises, you may want to expand your exercises to tone other parts of your body and not just work out your wrists.

The Wall Stretch

When you continue to do this, the resistance will be felt on the bottom parts of your wrist, and your fingers. Once this exercise becomes easier, you can start moving your hands to the right or the left and hold in each position for a few seconds. This is where you start to feel it in your forearms, inside the elbows, and slight stretch in your shoulders.

Upon reaching your maximum stretch, you should keep your feet at a 90 degree angle from the wall, and then start the same exercise all over again. In order for you to maximize your stretch, move back just a little bit. This is a super way to begin your exercise routine. The blood will really start to flow more than sitting on a chair at your desk. There is another thing to worry about. If you have a job where you are sitting all day, that may not be the best thing for you. Are you susceptible to blood clots? If you are, then try to stand and walk around every hour for just about five minutes. This is definitely something that you do not want to have.

Carpal tunnel exercises have a variety of ways to help other areas as the body as well as your forearms and wrists. This back and arm exercise is a prime example. To begin, give yourself a big hug. Make it a point to put each hand on the appropriate shoulder. However, it's important not to overlap your elbows too much. We'll explain in a minute.

Out of all of the exercises for carpal tunnel, the exercise that is the most interesting is the forearm and wrist twist. If people were to look at you, they would think that you were not even exercising. However, this exercise is definitely helping. Try to do this article correctly. You will first want to open your hand as if you were going to high-five someone. You should then put your hand up against the wall. You may first feel a strain in your fingers which is normal. Hold on as there is more to come with this exercise.

You will now want to push in as you turn your head to the left. When beginning to feel the tension, push your right shoulder forward a little bit. Soon you will feel the stretch in your shoulders. Soon you will feel the stretch in your shoulders, forearms, wrist and fingers. Now do a little stretching in the neck area. Now that you have completed this carpal tunnel exercise, you will feel like going out to throw some wicked fast-pitch softball.

This is by far a great carpal tunnel exercise because it not only gives the hands a workout but also the forearms, wrists, the back, shoulders and chest. There is not much strain at all. You should be able to do several of these exercises throughout the day. If you only have the time to do just one of these exercises, it will help to relieve some of the pain you are feeling and eventually the problem may be eliminated. If you are still having pain after approximately a week, then you should probably seek medical attention.
