My wrists just suddenly started feeling like they were on fire one night, spontaneous tendinopathy. Several weeks of immobility later, I came across your videos. I've been doing all of these stretches all day and the fact that I can now hold a controller for more than a few minutes at a time feels fantastic (with breaks, of course)
Most of our basic information and early recommendations are here: esportshealthcare.com/cubital-tunnel-syndrome/ If you've gone through and are still struggling, let us know--perhaps we can help 1-on-1
Btw just watched your twitch streams and maybe it would be a good idea to upload the streams here too, because they are super informative. Thanks so much for them!
Really appreciate this, it's helping me recover from taking lots of rest after over using my hands and wrist a lot. It's helping me get some strength back in my wrist. I was doing these daily for a few days but recently on the Ulnar Nerve Glide, I'm getting a really uncomfortable popping, sliding feel, kinda snappy. Just wondering what this could be/mean and if I should continue doing it or take a break from it?
For nerve glides, the recommendation is to perform them without pain. You can go to a point of mild tension, but don't go beyond the slightest sensation of discomfort. Popping/snapping could be the nerve (or a tendon) rolling over a bony projection. In either case, it's best not to perform the exercise to that point since you won't know if the snapping structure is accumulating damage. Does this make sense?
I would recommend performing these exercises after a gaming session. It doesn't need to be immediately following, but some of them include intense stretching which may tend to reduce your speed if you did them before playing.
With no current injury or pain*, my standard suggestion would be once or twice per week. The reason I say 1-2 is because you may feel soreness early on, and you don't want to repeat any exercise if the muscles are already sore. Once per week should be sufficient until you're comfortable; then, twice per week would be plenty. *With a specific ailment or imbalance to correct, we sometimes recommend 3x per week for a therapeutic goal.
Been struggling with RSI in my arm on the top side of the elbow and now some pain in my shoulder. Doing some stretches and these warm ups I’ve found to help but the symptoms are definitely still there. I’ve also been doing an arm workout every day. I’ve also had a stiffness in my arm making it hard to rotate my wrist. Do you have any advice with regards on what to do going forward as I’ve had this for about 5 months now.

@@sclapet4556 I'm mostly healed now, I just stretch before gaming and make sure to not over do it :)
Never in my life did I ever think I'd need gamer stretches lmaooo
Thanks for sharing. I'm struggling with some fairly mild cubital tunnel syndrome at the moment so I'm glad I came across your website.

I never heard of cubital tunnel syndrome, and yet I have had it,it turns out.
Still helping people to this day. I just found your video after playing too much WoW :)

I agree.

Does this make sense?
Is it healthy to do these exercises mid gaming session, or should you do a cooldown directly after and rest for a bit?

where do i get this finger thingy? i already warm up and cool down trough your vids.
this seems nice addition to it though
Should i do these with injury? Think im close to a gamer thumb
should i do this every day or around 2 times a week ( i do the warm up and cool down every time i play)
How many times should I perform this per day or week?
How often would you do these? every day or every second with a rest day in between?

Should I do these before or after my cooldown?
1. Warm-up routine
2. Injury prevention routine, if necessary
3. Stretches/cool-down routine
