🤲 CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME – CAN EXERCISE HELP?
Do you experience numbness, tingling, pins and needles or aching in your hand and wrist? These can be common symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist.
The good news? Movement and exercise may have a role in managing symptoms and improving hand and wrist function. Research has found that tendon and nerve-gliding exercises, particularly when combined with other conservative treatments, may help reduce symptoms and improve function for some people. However, the evidence is mixed, which is why an individualised approach is important. 🧠💪
In this video, our Exercise Physiologists at Exercise For Life demonstrate some exercises that may help support wrist mobility and function.
⚠️ Important: Not every exercise is suitable for every person with carpal tunnel syndrome. Your symptoms, strength, mobility and daily activities should all be considered when developing an exercise program.
At Exercise For Life, our Exercise Physiologists can assess your individual needs and develop a tailored exercise program to help you move with greater confidence and stay active.
