Well, to be honest no one can “guarantee” relief by doing carpal tunnel exercises. However, if you keep doing them you will notice things getting better over a period of time. The exercise we’re going to talk about today has been known to give you immediate relief for up to 4 hours. That’s an important statement considering you can’t fix carpal tunnel syndrome over night.

Some people have reported relief for up to 4 hours, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will do the same for you. Each person has different circumstances that affect their condition, and everyone is at a different stage of carpal tunnel syndrome. You may be one of the lucky ones who feel long periods of relief. Try the exercise and see for yourself what happens. It should at least improve upon how you feel now.

Then Tendon Gliding Exercise

While you may have heard of these exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome before, did you ever put them to use? You want to make sure you perform the exercise properly. Hold your hand up with your fingers all together. The next step is to curl your fingers and make them into a fist. Now open your fingers up and lay them out flat like you want to use them for a table. Once your fingers are in this position, change them back into a straight fist.

You want to be sure and hold each position for around 4 or 5 seconds before you change into the next position. Repeat the entire exercise five times. When you are done with one hand, do the same exercise with your other hand, even if you are not experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome on that side. This exercise also helps prevent this condition from developing.

Getting the Most Out of It

The standard for this exercise is to do it five times with each hand. If you feel good after the first session, there isn’t any written rule saying you can’t do more exercises. This is something that is up to you, but just don’t over do it to the point where it makes things worse. Plus, you’ll want to add in a few others throughout the day. This way you get in the habit of doing some sort of exercise whenever you can.

Moving the Circulation

A great way to get your circulation going is to shake out your hands. To do this exercise correctly, stand up and let your hands hang by your sides. Shake them a little. This will loosen up your hands and encourage the blood to start circulating into your fingers. Do this whenever you feel like you’re getting tired or strained at your computer or at work. It will help you get through the day.

In the end we hope the carpal tunnel exercises above give you the relief needed to get your work done. Anyone who experiences carpal tunnel syndrome can easily get distracted by the pain and burning. This in turn makes you less productive as normal and will start to take its toll at work. So do yourself a favor and start changing the way you work everyday by exercising in your spare time.
