Experiencing numbness in the hands? A common cause of this symptom is compression on the median nerve due to poor posture, computer overuse or even weightlifting that involves repetitive wrist flexion. The median nerve is put under pressure when passing through a tunnel at the wrist when put into these positions. The main complaint is tingling or numbness in the palm of the hands, most notably over the thumb, index finger, middle finger and part of the ring finger.
During the initial assessment, our doctors must determine if this is purely carpal tunnel syndrome or if it is caused by rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or even something referred from the neck. Check below for some soft tissue exercises that works through the muscles that are involved and that are possibly the culprit in compressing the nerve.
The first part of the video is an active median nerve glide that “flosses” or moves the nerve throughout the path to keep it from getting stuck or compressed.
The second part is utilizing a lacrosse ball that is rolling out the pronator which is a muscle that the median nerve pierces through. If this muscle is tight, it can cause compression on the nerve.
The last part is a strengthening exercise that helps increase forearm muscle and grip strength. This is a good exercise if there is a decrease in strength caused by prolonged compression of the median nerve.
Try these exercises out if this sounds like something you are experiencing!

Stuck with muscle soreness after a workout? Game Ready helps to promote faster recovery and more effective healing through cryotherapy combined with intermittent compression. Cold therapy alone reduces blood flow, inflammation and swelling where it is applied. Intermittent compression mechanically reduces the amount of space available where swelling may accumulate. This helps to increase lymphatic flow and decrease swelling. The Game Ready system combines both!
