Here are four more simple carpal tunnel pain relief tips for you.
- Do a whole body movement, like walking, at least 3 or 4 times each week. Do it for 20-30 minutes each time. Walking while you “pump” your arms uses all of your arm and shoulder muscles. It gets your blood and lymph fluids flowing to help flush metabolic wastes from your arms and hands.
- Join a yoga or tai chi class, or get a video to work with at home. The various torso and arm stretches (there are more in yoga than tai chi) are very beneficial. The stretches open the front of the body and move the arms in different ways than usual. Moving in different ways than the way that you usually move reduces hand, wrist and arm pain.
- If you use a treadmill, hold the sides loosely if you need to hold them at all. Holding the front bar perpetuates forward head posture and can cause low back stress as well as arm and hand pain. If you hold the side bars instead of the front bar you will have a more natural head and neck position. This helps reduce carpal tunnel pain that comes from your neck. Holding loosely, rather than tightly, reduces pressure on your hands and wrists.
- Use an electric can opener or hold your wrist straight while using a twist opener. If you place the bottom of the can on a cloth, the cloth and can will spin as you open it. You won’t be twisting your wrist, and you won’t have to hold the can up, either. There will just be a small side to side movement at your wrist.
Take this stuff and use it.
