Help for Small Finger Numbness: Cubital Tunnel Relief
Do you have numbness and tingling of your small finger and half of your ring finger? If so, follow along as I demonstrate two nerve flossing exercises that can help relieve your numbness and tingling caused by cubital tunnel syndrome.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs from your neck to your hand, is compressed at the elbow. This can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in your pinky and ring fingers.
These exercises are the best way to relieve cubital tunnel symptoms because they safely floss, or glide, your ulnar nerve. Other exercises focus on range of motion and strength, which causes you to over stretch your nerve.
In this first ulnar nerve flossing exercise you will learn how to slack the nerve at the joints above and below the elbow. This allows the nerve to begin comfortably sliding through all the small ligaments, muscles, and fascia in the arm.
In the second exercise, you will learn how to glide the nerve slow and symptom free by incorporating your shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.

I am confused. Several times you say "Be sure you are symptom-free" before going to the next exercise......."Make sure you are not getting numbness and tingling" from the exercise.... I DO have numbness and tingling which is why I am trying the exercises.

The symptoms flare up more the more you progress in the exercise if yours are that bad you shouldn't progress and you should do the first version of the exercise only, also go to a doctor too because when i first got this condition my nerve was inflamed and needed medication first.

WOW!!!! I have no numbness after working through the steps a few times until I could get to the point with no numbness. Thank you so much for this video.
wow I felt some instant relief. thank you so much! I'll be adding this to my routine for sure
Amazing - worked straight away. Thank you.
You are Making. Doing this whole routine from 1st exercise to the last just once has releaved my pain considerably. Thanks a lot
Had tingling and some numbness for the past 2 and a half hours (first time that long, previously it was lasting a couple of minutes max). Did the first ecercise a few times and it's almost back to normal!
love your vibe. your beautiful onscreen energy. and of course your exercises. love you gave a very gentle one. helped me a lot as every other youtube channel only show extreme ones.
It's very helpful. Thank you so much Ms.
Thank you! That did help quite a bit. The numbness came on very quickly…..now it’s much better, not quite gone.
You literally just saved my life I feel 500% better already. I have an elbow that I damaged a nerve a long time ago and now its came back with a vengeance. Thanks so much for your video, you are amazing.
As a guitar player, I was getting numbness in my pinky and ring finger. This has been helping a lot. Thank you so much..

Very pleased with this video as it's easy to follow, and it has also given me awareness that my muscles are too tight, which is actually what's causing the nerve issue.
Thank you, definitely felt the relief.
Omg! Not only did this help with my numbness but, the area around my elbow feels significantly better as well.

Thank you random nerve healing lady I was scared for a minute and the first few reps of the second I found relief
I had to come back and say thanks. This was bothering me for months before I looked it up. Two days of your flossing, and I only do it now for prevention when I think about how it's not numb anymore. 🎉
Thank you I have been looking now for 2 months and then I found this video big help num and tingling continuity I will be on exercise 1 for a while thanks 😊
This helped immediately ❤

Great exercises. Does exercise 1 also help with trigger finger in the ring finger? Thanks.
I played so much beat saber that I ended up learning about how fragile my ulnar nerve is lol This helped a lot!
great exercise number 1 worked and numbness slowly started to go away after few repetitions
Thank you 🥰. I usually don't have numbness in my pinky for this long, but now I know what i did wrong. It's not painful or extremely numb. Yesterday, I played the Sims 4 on my laptop, and I have to use a mouse instead of my normal controller. Which causes me to lean on my left elbow while controlling the mouse with my right hand. After unintentionally applying pressure to my ulnar nerve, I went to bed immediately. I've been sleeping in a poor position lately, which involves me sleeping with my arms above my head or me sleeping on my arm directly cutting off circulation. I'll be me mindful from now on 😅. In the past, these two actions have resulted in some numbness, but it would go away quickly on its own. Combining the two actions is what caused my current problem
❤Thanks this has been very helpful to me in highlighting and pinpointing my problems. I am sure with your exercises my numbness would reduce. I had a very bad fall last year. My thigh bone is recovering but my small fingers are still tingling a lot.

Should a person do anything different with the exercises if the numbness is limited to only the palm and small finger area?
You say not to move to step 2 until I don’t have symptoms or not to flex the wrist too much if I have symptoms but I have numbness in my pinky 24/7 . Will doing the 1st step still help?
A partir de quand doit on se faire operer ?. Si l emg montre une souffrance ....?...
Are these exercises good to do after having ulnar release surgery?
I do alot of gaming on my pc. Do you think what caused this was pressure on the elbow while leaning on my desk?
I had a fifth metacarpal boxer fracture. They recommended surgery cause my pinky will scissor and be crooked it I don’t. She said it’s just an annoyance thing for a lot of ppl. Should I get it? It’s my off hand and I can’t imagine it would be that annoying
My pinky and toes tingles
I get numbness in both hands pinky and ring finger while I'm asleep. Is this exercise suitable for that as well?
How many times
Hi.. when i do 2nd excercise and bend the neck i feel some muscle moving under the shoulderblade.. also in the arm near shoulder.. is this normal can i continue excercise.. thanks
This is the first time I’ve experienced this so I don’t know if I’m anxious but when I try the first exercice my ears started ringing and I felt faint. Is that a problem?
I have both pain and tingling sometimes Thumb area and sometimes last 2 fingers.. I also have oposite end of my elbow inner part is in very bad pain.. I thought that was causing my hands to go numb but its always either side of my hands not at the same time.. Thank you for making this video for us...
Crazy thing, I’m worried but here it goes, this nerve for me is sensitive for sure, these help, but sometimes when I breathe out or push like a cough, I get this nerve shocking from my chest to my elbow, it’s not painful it’s just nerve shock sorta. Is this something I can fix with these techniques?
What if my tingling and numbness do not come and go. What if it's a constant sensation? Can I still do the exercises?
I did the first excercise and the pain got worse. Absolutely no relief. Is this normal and have to do several reps before relief is expected?
Can someone tell me how long it takes to rid yourself of the numbness after these techniques ? I just started

I went on a long bike ride in March over two days. My ring and pinky fingers went numb during it. This happened on shorter rides before, but always went away after a week or so. On that large one though, it's been three months and it still hasn't gone away. Do you think this exercises would help, or am I looking at surgery potentially? Thank you!

Hello Michelle, first of all thank you for your video! I'm gonna try those out. I've been suffering from CTS for over a decade, and the ulnar nerve pops and hurts especially when I'm doing push-ups. If I keep doing these exercises will my CTS go away, or are these kind of more like a short-term relief exercises? Thanks again!

Can someone please tell me what this is I’m going through. In both hands at the same time, my pinky and ring finger start to tingle. Then seconds later both hands start to buzz extremely hard like all my fingers and my wrists. To the point where I have to park my car cause I can’t use my hands I’ll crash. My fingers feel like they are bending backwards by themselves and my thumbs feel as if they are twisting. My hands sort of lock up and it’s hard to move my wrists and fingers. It hurts and i my hands kinda look like they are stuck in half open but straight fingered way like this 🤏 but my thumb is stuck straight up. It lasts 10 minutes or so and after I’m very shaky like my hands are weak and very shaky. Right before this happens I have a funny feeling in my heart. One time when this happened it went to my jaw and I had slurred speech. Scary.. this only happens when I’m in the car but it’s happened when I wasn’t even driving just the passenger in the car. It’ll happen once a day for about a week or so. Then it’ll go away for like a month or so then all the sudden come back. What is happening.
My numbness is constant . I didn't do anything , it just started one day for no reason and now its non stop numbness . It sounds like you are saying do the stretches when you don't feel the numbness . What do you do when it never stops and its staying numb 24-7 ?
What it's gone just like that?????? I only do like 5 reps and it's gone already?? Bruh im confused and also very relieved.
