Wrist Pain Exercises

Carpal tunnel syndrome is an overuse injury we get because in our daily lives we flex our hands and fingers constantly and, basically, only extend them to let go, which creates a dangerous muscle imbalance. Fortunately it’s relatively easy to prevent. Once you have it, as usual, the situation is worse but it can be controlled with these exercises. I had one client whom, after multiple cortisone shots and a surgery, neither of which had permanently fixed her CTS, was able to become pain free, and keep it that way, after doing these exercises for only 3 weeks.

These are not exercises you need to do all the time. Once you extensor strength is up to speed you can just do them enough to maintain that strength, which can be accomplished in one or two 5 minutes sessions per week.
