This is the first in a series of Carpal Tunnel Exercises that will be shown so that individuals can learn to eliminate their disorder via conservative methods with a few simple exercises.
COMING SOON! We will be listing a variety of exercise programs for injuries like Trigger Finger, Tennis Elbow, Guyon’s Syndrome and many other Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI’s) in the near future so some back soon!
The best approach to treating Trigger Finger is to rely on exercises and stretches that target the affected tendon and surrounding muscles. The exercises performed by rehabilitation devices like Flextend / Restore and other muscle balancing products, can help to restore function and integrity to the affected tendon by eliminating the nodule or adhesion that has formed, so that it no longer catches as it passes through the pulley system when the finger is flexed and extended. This is done through active stretches and exercises that break down the scar tissue on the tendon and that also help thin the tendon, allowing it to move freely through the pulley system and tendon sheath. Using these methods of conservative therapy will correct the disorder without undergoing painful cortisone injections or surgery.
NOTE: A series of stretches and exercises will soon be released via video for consumers to review so come back soon!
Everyone is too busy to read articles anymore – the reason for my creating of this top-5 list, as I wouldn’t want people to have to apply too much effort for their own health and safety by performing some form of research on their own.
People want quick and easy no matter what it is: Driving and eating vs. sitting at home with the family and eating, a car wash vs. using the hose in the driveway, email and text messaging instead if writing an actual letter, pills vs. a change in diet and exercise and the list goes on. The want for ease of use can be applied to anything, including a variety of repetitive strain injuries; one of them known by everyone as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS for short.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is everywhere so how does someone get rid of it as quickly and easily as getting a hamburger at the drive-up window?
Here they are, the Top 5 Ways to Reduce CTS: (I just got through saying that everyone is too busy to read much and I went and wrote a long article, somewhat defeating the purpose of the Top-5.)
So here is my condensed version, the A-E List, with the in-depth explanations of each below:
A – Flextend
B – Stretch flexor Muscles
C – Strengthen Back and Shoulders to create better posture.
D – Utilize good ergonomics, making sure your job fits your build.
E – Massage Therapy and Rest.
