I have a friend who is an occupational therapist. She showed me what they do for CTS and dammit if it isn't quite effective for me:
- Extend your arms out to your sides so you look like a cross
- turn fingers towards the sky, palms away from you. You should feel a stretch running the length of your arms, shoulder to wrist.
- now, to stretch your right arm, very slowly turn your head to the left while simultaneously flexing your wrists deeper
- do the opposite for the left arm.
Go slow and keep your mind where you're stretching. This isn't stretching just tendons - it's stretching your nerve too.
