Natural Carpal Tunnel Exercises to Ease Pain

4. Median Nerve Glide

The median nerve is the only nerve that travels through the carpal tunnel, making these exercises particularly important. Create a fist with one hand. Take that arm and place it against the chest, setting the hand near the heart. Slowly straighten out the arm, relaxing the wrist and fingers as it straightens. Turn the forearm away from the body and extend it out to the side, keeping the fingers pointed. Slowly raise that arm to shoulder-height, leaning the head to the opposite side. Repeat the exercise three to five times, making sure to never stay in one position for too long.
