In these episodes we actually get into the strength-building aspect of carpal tunnel syndrome. The pain weak points I’ve seen in clients with chronic wrist pain over the years are weak: shoulders, back muscles (lats) and hip stabilizers.

In the beginner series, I try to offer more opportunities to strengthen these areas standing or on elbows instead of wrists. As you get stronger, you could replicate the same exercises, just gradually working into bearing your body weight in your hands.

The intermediate workout starts with building your way into a pull up and strengthening your wrists to hold your body weight in push/pull fashion. If you don’t have a pull up bar (they’re not expensive & are fantastic for stretching after a day of typing), try to find something in a local park or around your house that you can hold onto and hang from. This episode offers some epic tricep strengthening and then moves into several different plank options to simultaneously engage the shoulder stabilizers with the wrists.

Hope you enjoy! The next series will be on Frozen Shoulder Syndrome. There’s a lot of overlap between these 2 conditions so please subscribe on YouTube to stay up-to-date with new content.
