Wow. This worked great for me! I am a drummer and percussionist and have 53 years of drumming under my belt and have already had carpal tunnel surgery on the left hand, now the right is much worse than the left because it takes the brunt of performing. As soon as I began the first exercise, I could feel the area surrounding my thumb being worked out. I've been reading comments here where people say that it made their CT worse, but it surely does help me, until get the surgery. Thanks for posting this!
Big thanks to you Pat, after just watching this my hand feels a whole lot better.
Pat! After 8 years of constant shoulder pain, I went to see Pat in person and in just 6 weeks Pat was able to eliminate the pain 100%. I had seen at least 10 other ppl over the previous decade with no improvement so I highly recommend this guy - Thanks again! I can't believe the first video on the carpal tunnel I found just happen to be you :)

I'm having the shoulder problem. Does it have to do with carpal tunnel because I'm getting the run around with a work comp problem. They can't seem to be specific about the problem.

People need to understand this syndrome can arise because of a nerve pinch in the cervical region. The nerve goes all the way to your hands. So if it gets pinched in your neck, you will feel the pain/burn when you stretch in your hands and shoulders. In neurology, where you feel the pain is not necessarily the origin of the same. Always meet a good chiropractor before jumping on to the surgery bandwagon. Peace

True. But in that case you will have a variety of other symptoms depending on the nerve roots or cords of the plexus injured.

I have totry these in stead of taking pain killers
only go to the point where you feel the symptoms come on, or intensify. Hold 1-2 seconds then back off. Hopefully with repetition, your symptoms will decrease and then allow you to push a little further. Then repeat the process in the new available range of movement.

@@chriiss6936 , my job depends from daily typing, I have carpal tunnel on my left hand, I do not want to go to a second surgery, I had the first one on my right hand, successful surgery, but any surgery it doesn't matter if it is minor also is risky. I like to exercise my hand, sometimes miraculously I can close my hand without any problems, I decided not to pay attention and pretend nothing happens, I have already dealing with this problem sine 2 years ago, I think with good therapy I can rid off the problem I have. I went to physical therapy for 3 months, the therapist took measurements of my hand and finger, they made something to use while sleeping, very uncomfortable, end in the garbage, what silly way to help me, lol.

Many thanks Pat! My hands feel tingly after these exercises! Like my nerve endings are able to breathe! I suspect myself of having carpal tunnel due to pinky fingers going numb when just on the phone, middle fingers going numb sometimes in spin class, and sometimes even waking up with numb fingers. I am going to do these exercises daily (before yoga might be even better) and look forward to waking up without numbness. Thank you again.

Pinky numbness is usually a sign of ulnar nerve strain (through the elbow)
I have not tried thes e moves yet, but I can clearly see how they will benefit. I am a 75 year old PC gamer. (carpal tunnel syndrome) not a stroke. Whew.
its stretching like this that caused my cts.
Just trying the exercises immediately felt good
Thanks, was wondering if you had any exercises for tennis elbow or would these also do. Thanks!

Thank you Pat for the video. I can't move my hand and wrist to the 6 o'clock position. I can only move to the 3 o'clock position. I'm doing the exercises until I can fully move to the 6 o'clock position.
my question as well.
on the 3rd progression that involves tilting the head, how many reps for that? also, how many times a day can i do these glides, or is it unlimited? thanks!
question i lift weights so do i need to stop lifting weights and playing guitar?
