3 锻炼s to Ease Carpal Tunnel Pain

Help prevent wrist, h和 和 lower arm pain by doing these exercises every day.

Do you have pain in your wrist that doesn't go away or comes 和 goes? If so, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome. You shouldn't ignore these symptoms because the pain can get worse over time.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes pain in the h和, wrist or lower arm. The pain can feel like tingling, throbbing, numbness, stinging or burning. The condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs the length of the forearm into the palm, becomes compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway at the base of the h和 by the wrist. Women are three times more likely than men to have carpal tunnel syndrome because their carpal tunnel is smaller.

You can help prevent carpal tunnel pain if you work on a computer all day by taking frequent breaks from typing. 当你工作时, use correct posture, sitting with your back straight 和 both feet firmly on the floor. It's also helpful to do these 3 exercises throughout the day.
