After ct surgery on my left wrist 7/23, you were my therapist while going 2x/ week, I still do the exercises you suggest to keep my hands limber and right wrist symptom free.
I find your conclusions on the "exercises" aggreable. Having had a successful left hand "carpal tunnel relief" operation. I was then told, that the condition could most likely be present in the other hand, as both hands were impacted in an accident; many years before. The operation involved chipping away of calcified stuff in the area. The right hand remained symptom free till a recent fall, landing on both palms! Physiotherapy involving manipulations and the use of ultrasound (which seemed like vibrations) aggravated the symptoms, hence the operation. Vibrations are used to move stuff or the opposite - compact it! Determined by the how open or closed the path is. Now that we know the one imaging procedure can reveal the condition, useless procedure like X-rays and tests and physio, could be avoided. This could set one back for months! Its nice of you to be bold enough, to point out how the nerves could be compressed! Thanks for the video and as for the negative comments, perhaps the viewers considered it too "hyped" up! Doing the dishes, pots and pans non stop, can be bad!
Just got diagnosed with cts and I hate it.. was about to get my cortisone shot, when I opted for accupuncture... reduced my pain by 80%.. now taking it sloe before diving back into work 😊
You might want to check out feldencrais. I discovered a couple of stretches, very light stretches, that help, and some advice about posture that is involved w ct
How do we know what your saying is true? It seems many "experts" claim that "these" stretches work while "those" ones don't. Not saying this to be rude, I genuinely feel stuck.
exactly. who is she? A doctor? a qualified phisioteraphyst? Anyway the issue is that if you go to a doctor, he/she won't care and just give some painkillers.. you can go to do some phisioteraphy, but there you might have the same issues that you find here in Internet.. Every one has its different opinion! they might say this exercise is good, or no this is better... so.... at the end it's the same story when it comes to medicine unfortunately! :-(
She is referencing real world medical studies that actually measure the before and after Carpal Tunnel configurations. I am not a fan of severing the carpal tunnel ligament and then stepping back and saying you are "cured" when the reality severing the ligament weakens the hand and that is strength you will never regain.
@@luca8152she went to school to for physical therapy and hand therapy is her specialty. She’s been doing this for 15 yrs. Just because she’s not a doctor it doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what’s she’s talking about. I just had carpal tunnel surgery done. I have trigger thumb on my right hand and had watched her videos while I was recovering from surgery. When I went back to my surgeon I had him watch a couple of her videos and he agreed she knew what she was talking about.
I have done some of the stretches she said not to do and that night I had some of the worst pain and sleep in my life. The next day I stopped doing those and my sleep immediately got better
Great explanation of carpal tunnel syndrome. I was wondering, though, if pain can radiate at the back of the hand beween the web of the thumb and two finger (pointer finger)? Thanks for a great video.
No carpal tunnel doesn't not radiate or innervate on the back of the hand. That could the radial nerve or the dorsal sensory branch of the radial nerve.
Since I broke my wrist about 10 weeks ago, I've been doing great in getting movement back, but my PT has been encouraging those wrist flexion and extension exercises to help my wrist have a larger degree of movement which is about 50% right now, but since about 5 weeks ago when I could write and craft again, I began having carpal tunnel syndrome, but she said to keep up with the exercises and activities, but it does seem to make it worse, sooooo how am I supposed to get my wrist to move around normally again if I'm supposed to avoid those stretches? 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you so much for this video. 💗
You can try the myofascial stretch ligament stretch on the wall as a way to stretch in wrist extension. Ask your PT to show you ways to modify or at least reduce the strain to the nerve when stretching. Getting motion back is important but the last thing you want is creating a nerve issue that gets too bad.
Thank you so much for the GREAT info. I did try some of those exercises you mentioned and they DID make things worse. The 2 you gave at the end really DO work and using them I've been able to get some sleep!
9:40 I am two weeks post cast removal from having a distal radial fracture ( no surgery) I have carpel tunnel now ! How can I do the required flexing and extension exercises without making g the carpel tunnel worse !
Thank you so much! I've been doing the "wrong" ones for a while with nonrelief. I tried yours tonight and was able to paint an entire picture for hours, vs yesterday when I couldnt only paint for about 10 minutes before extreme pain and numbness. ❤
Hello miss I had 3 surgeries because the glass cutted my fingers vessels so it is two months after surgery and I did physiotherapy but not I had two big problems one is that I can’t up ny fungers alone and also when I fist my hand I can’t down it Please give me advice
Question: I have had 6 months of rehab on my tendons of the elbows (several years ago). I have 3 stretches I did then, that I still do, to keep my forearms flexible and so my tendons don't shrink up. I haven't had an issues since. My hands are a different story. I have mild carpal tunnel and tendonitis at the base of my fingers. What stretches do you recommend for my forearms if I'm ruining my carpal tunnel with flexion and extension? (At the time of my elbows, I didn't have the hand issues).
Thanks for the exercises and explaining why some exercises might make things worse instead of better
After ct surgery on my left wrist 7/23, you were my therapist while going 2x/ week, I still do the exercises you suggest to keep my hands limber and right wrist symptom free.
I'm wondering what the recovery time was post-surgery? I might have to have it.
Wow, I had CT surgery on my right hand 2 years ago, and no PT was recommended :(
Best demo/ visuals ever! Thank you!
Thank you! I've been trying to improve my game! ☺
I have tried some of the excercise you condemn, they did increase symtoms, so I will try your, certainly worth it..
Great to know; thanks so much.
Love all your videos. I have inflammed elbows. Can you gives us videos targetting the elbows, tennis/golfer elbow. Merci
Wonderful ❤️
Fantastic presentation
Great youtube
Love.
Blessings and respect.

Informative, well done, going to give this a chance. Btw, nice hair too.
This couldn’t have come out at a better time
Glad to hear that!

@@VirtualHandCare Thank you for your reply. I really enjoy your the information you share with us.
I agree with you to a point because I believe in resting the joint etc but I also feel if you're giving stretching exit should be done gently

Subscribed! I'm an artist and writer, and my right hand has been giving me fits! I will try these exercises; thank you so much! ❤
Welcome! You will find a lot of videos that will help your right hand! ✍
Thank you so much for this. These are all common stretches and exercises. What’s the difference between nerve floss and nerve glide ?
To my knowledge there is not difference. They are used interchangeably.
it is a u tube trend someone would put the best exercises for a condition and another would list the same exercises as the wrost ones
Tq so much mam very useful video,❤
Thank you so much for the GREAT info. I did try some of those exercises you mentioned and they DID make things worse. The 2 you gave at the end really DO work and using them I've been able to get some sleep!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
How do you feel about braces.
Thank you 🙏
I started your exercises ❤
Wow I’ve been doing this all wrong 🤦🏾♂️
Me too.😢
Looking forward to do these 2 exercises daily and stop doing the other possible harmfull exercises and see how it helps
9:40 I am two weeks post cast removal from having a distal radial fracture ( no surgery)
I have carpel tunnel now ! How can I do the required flexing and extension exercises without making g the carpel tunnel worse !
From India great video thanks u mam

Hello miss

Please give me advice

Just get to the point love for crying out my hands are numb
so basically what she is aying is that you could be making it worse .
But you're admitting that you aren't a doctor right?
She is an occupational therapist, I believe.
Doctors want to operate, they don't want you to know this stuff, idiots
Absolutely makes sense everything you say kind of annoying your wife boss voice tone, but you’re right we love you thank you. 🤣🙏🏽
But what a lovely smile she has! I could watch her all day, and forget my cts!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
