If you've Googled "best exercises for carpal tunnel," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist, often driven by upstream tension in the neck, shoulder, and forearm.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
