These exercises can be a game-changer in easing the discomfort of carpal tunnel syndrome. Strengthening and stretching can provide relief and improve overall wrist health.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist within the carpal tunnel. This compression can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. It’s often associated with repetitive hand movements or conditions that cause swelling in the wrist area.
