Acupressure Exercises For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Step One: Firmly Press TW5 and P6:
Place the fingers of your left hand on top of your right forearm and
your thumb directly behind your fingers on the other side, two and
one-half finger widths below the wrist crease. Grasp these points
firmly for one minute to strengthen the wrist joint. Then switch
sides to work on your left wrist for another minute. If grasping
hurts your hand, use your knuckles on these points instead.
Step Two: Hold P7 And TW4:
Place your left thumb on the center of the outer wrist crease, with
your fingers directly behind on the inside of the wrist. Fit your
thumb and fingers, or use your knuckles in the hollow spaces between
the bone. Gradually apply firm pressure and begin long, deep
breathing. Press these points for one minute or until you feel
your wrist pain subside. End by holding lightly, taking another
couple of long, slow, deep breaths. Feel for a pulsation at the
point. Then switch sides to work on your opposite wrist for
another minute.
Important:
For any wrist injury, elevate your hand to decrease the swelling.
