Stretch the Wrists Regularly
Stretching your wrists every day could be helpful for minimizing and reducing some signs of the syndrome. In particular, extending the wrists will help to stretch the surrounding ligaments and create more space for your median nerve in the carpal tunnel. A good way to stretch or extend both wrists simultaneously is to make the prayer posture. Put your palms together around 15 centimeters in front of the chest and raise the elbows till you feel both wrists stretched. Hold this pose for 30 seconds and do it again for 3 to 5 times each day.
Wrist stretches might temporarily cause more carpal tunnel symptoms, but do not stop them if you don’t actually feel pain. These symptoms would diminish over time. [2]
