Tendon Glide ExercisesThe purpose of tendon glide exercises is to increase the circulation to the hand and wrist which in turn reduces swelling and promotes healthier soft tissue (muscle, ligaments and tendons). All of which will hopefully reduce your carpal tunnel symptoms!
Some of my patients initially think that these simple looking exercises won't do anything, but if they stick with them and do them regulary along with the other exercises and
nonsurgical treatments
, such as wearing
Night splints
to sleep in and using
carpal tunnel braces
during day time activities along with using
Pain relieving creams, gels and ice wraps,
they will eventually start to feel and see a difference in their carpal tunnel symptoms.
Tendon glide exercises and Nerve glide exercises can be a beneficial part of a carpal tunnel exercise program at the workplace as well. See
