Carpal Tunnel Exercises: 5 Steps to Wrist Relief Without Braces or Surgery

As I was working my way up to becoming a professional writer, I used to work in data entry to pay the bills, and typing 8 hours a day left my wrists sore. But I was taking Kung Fu, and I discovered that if I did some of my arm and wrist stretches before I started typing, my hands didn’t hurt!

At that time I had a deaf friend who was familiar with how sign language interpreters suffer from using their hands all day. He encouraged me to expand my research.

For the last 15 years, I’ve been doing that, combining the best Eastern and Western therapeutic exercise methods I could find. I discovered that wrist pain is often not necessarily a sign of true carpal tunnel syndrome, but a reflection of other root problems, including:

poorly organized workspace that forces the wrist to work at a bad angle

bad posture that strains the connection between the shoulder and arm

awkward movement habits that bring the wrist or other parts of the arm out of their natural alignment with the rest of the body

muscular stiffness or weakness

inhibited circulation and numbness

Since I naturally don’t know which (if any) of these might be contributing to your wrist pain, I’ve invented a system that covers many of these possible factors at one time. I call it the WRIST method. The WRIST method teaches five principles for preventing and alleviating wrist pain:

Workplace Makeover to reorganize your environment so you can avoid unnatural movements

Relax Your Posture to take excess strain off your shoulders, arms, and wrists

Integrate Your Movements to keep your wrist’s motions in coordination with the rest of your body and prevent isolated stress and strain

Stretch Your Arms to promote circulation to your wrists and build flexibility and strength

Touch Massage to relax and warm your arms and wrists

To put these principles into practice, you’ll find 33 specific exercises in my fully-illustrated, 110-page ebook, Carpal Tunnel Exercises: 5 Steps to Wrist Relief without Braces or Surgery. I drew pictures (like the one you see on the cover) so you can see exactly what I’m describing in words. Everything is laid out in detail step-by-step. Here’s one sample shoulder relaxation warm-up you can try now:

From Page 51:

Start in a good sitting or standing posture with your head balanced over your body and your shoulders balanced over your hips, and practice these movements:

1. Imagine a pair of balloons tied to the ends of your collarbone where your collarbone meets your shoulders. Inhale and let the balloon raise your collarbone and shoulder blades.

2. When you have raised your shoulder blades to the point where you begin to feel tension pulling them back down, exhale and slowly let the air out of the balloons. Feel as if the air were condensing into warm water that drips down your back from your shoulders to your lower back and melts into the floor.

3. Only lower your shoulders as far as they can comfortably sink without dragging your shoulders behind the support base of your hips, and then when you feel they have sunk to their natural limit, inhale again and fill the balloons with air to let your shoulders rise again.

4. Repeat until you get a sense of your comfortable range of motion for shrugging and sighing, and where the limits of that range of motion lie.

That’s an illustration of one of the warm-up exercises used to loosen up the neck and shoulders before working on the arms and wrists. You’ll find much more inside the book.

Because this is such a large book and fully illustrated, with such high quality information, it will normally retail for $49, which is a bargain compared to what you’d pay for a trip to the doctor or painful surgery. But this week I’m offering an early bird sale at the discounted low price of $19.95 (which includes tax). You can get it at this discounted price by clicking the button below.

The free report gives you an overview of the material covered in the book. The newsletter will give you free tips drawn from the exercises in the book.

You’ve got nothing to lose but pain. Give it a try and see if it helps. And let me know how it works for you and any improvements you’d like to see.

To your health,
