  • Holly crap!! I noticed an instant improvement. Less pain right away!! I've been fighting with tendinitis for years!!! Whoop!

  • I am very inflamed right now but hoping this gets better with the stretches!

  • Brilliant this is great, the thumb grab one is fairly painful but a good pain!!!

  • Thanks so much

  • As I understand it, carpal tunnel syndrome is a matter of the median nerve, not the tendons (?)

  • @snicky58 These stretches will serve to relieve the "pinching" action imposed on the nerve.

  • @Twist3dElements Thanks for your reply.

  • Thank you! A friend of mine on Facebook posted a link to this on my page. I already have carpal tunnel syndrome, though -- what about people like me? Could the exercises still help? I noticed that your title says to help PREVENT it.

  • @snicky58 Hi Charlotte! I know it's you. ;-)

  • Wow, thanks, David! I am a pianist and piano professor and I am going to have all of my students do these, just so they can prevent future problems!! I will also being doing them. They really felt good on my wrists and hands!!

  • This is excellent stuff. Immediately effective. Virtually all musicians are prone to develop these problems. I just worked along with the video and my painful wrist is already more comfortable. Thank you!

  • I found and used these stretches for the first time 4 days ago. Since then I have been able to edit for a full day without having to switch to my left hand. I came back to say thanks!

  • thanks so much! I used to be a tylenol junkee until i found this!

    Now i can go back to playing guitar with full power.

    Cheers.

  • Day One: First time. yeah, I can feel the tender muscles that needed stretching. I've already begun to have confidence this will work. (guitarist and computer user).

  • I have been in miserable pain both of these issues. 1 day later and I feel 80 percent better! This is no lie! Thank u very much.

  • I just has a handgas,

  • Thank you very much! I was developing carpal tunnel synrome and could not ink anymore, no control in my fingers. The excersises are fantastic.

  • I really recommend buying ergonomic mousepads and keyboard slabs for your wrists, it really helped with my carpal tunnel (Carpal Tunnel was probably from too much WoW :C )

  • God damn i wish i could thank this guy properly, one of the few things thats actually helped me

  • thank you so much! they want to sell us pain killers to get money but there is lots of natural solution!

  • בעלת מזל טוב תודה!!

  • I have an old tennis injury in my right wrist that came from holding the racquet improperly for an entire game because of a deep cut in my palm. I can feel it between my thumb and index finger all the way into my wrist, and it bothers and prevents me from doing anything involving my wrist. I tried these exercises a few times, and they hurt like crazy, but once I was done my wrist felt considerably better already. Thank you so, so much for this video. I'm going to keep doing these every day.

  • Hi,

    I'm an artist/architect who either draws or uses mouse all day long. I have been having wrist pain for years when I work too much. It usually went away after resting for a few days, but for two days it's been unbearable. I found your video and just did the exercises, pain is lighter now and I'm sure it'll go away soon. Already feeling better. Thank you so much!

  • Thank you for making this video. with in minutes, the pain in my wrists went away

  • wow i've had tendinitis for 2 years now, and did these twice and i'm feeling better already....

  • @aalex1990 how much time we must do these exercise

    

  • Wow, thanks for sharing this - recently been having some persistent pain in the right forearm - I think from using a mouse all day long over many years. I followed along with the video and immediately felt some relief from the pain!

  • Wow, thank you so much. I'm a guitarist who just started playing again after several years, and as a result my muscles aren't near as strong as they used to be. I've been looking for exercises like this for a while, and tonight my wrist was hurting rather badly - I did the first exercise as a warm-down and the pain went away almost instantly. This is bound to become part of my daily regimen now - again, thank you so much for posting this. Subscribed.

  • Thank you sooo much.

    I' m doing these exercises for a couple of days now and the pain is decreasing a lot.

  • thanks and can play COD again

  • What is this trickery?! lol this is amaaaazing!! My hands, and myself thank you so very much for making this video! Really! My hands are SOOO much more relaxed and I can draw without feeling pain!! Thank you thank you thank you so very much <3

  • thanks for the tips, now a bit relieved, so scared when my friend told me im having syndrome of carpal tunnel, btw im avid PC gamer >.>

  • People don't realize that doing the right physical stretches as remedies to counter physical problems in the body is so simple because too many doctors are being paid to say "Here, take this, it'll help."

    I was much more relieved when I started doing these exercises and feeling improvements rather than worrying about taking medicines that can cause stomach bleeding!

    I had tendonitis for nearly two years and to this day these exercises are saving me lots of complications. Thank you so much!

  • I play the fiddle and the violin, so my wrists often get very sore and swollen.

    This sometimes can make my fingers cramp up and become harder to move at the normal pace that my songs are play.

    Within a week of doing these exercises, I have noticed a tremendous change!

    Much obliged,

    Marilyn

  • 3:13 perhaps you mean physician (; anyways, thank you for the video. My carpel tunnel pain is subsiding.

  • Amazing video. Thank you. After only two days of these exercises I have experienced significant relief from my tendon issues. I play way too much guitar and this is really really helpful.

  • does that make your wrist stronger?

  • Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. After one exercise my two hands/wrists already feel different. I truly appreciate for caring and for taking time to share. You are such a talented artist. I also enjoy watching your instrumental music.

    Again, thank you and God bless you abundantly.

  • Mate, thankU for your caring, I can feel the difference even whilst exercising

  • Do the first 3 exercises help relieve carpool tunnel pain or only tendonitis?

  • @FinnishCraig3

    "carpool tunnel"? Could be the funniest typo ever... ;)

  • i dont have any actual illness with my arms/hands but hope it helps with general pain/strain in these muscles after a long time on the computer.

  • cant do second stretch hurts to much help out :/

  • @rosstaylor94 dont force it, go easy...

  • Thank you so much.. I had severe pain in right wrist and these exercises have helped sooooo much!!! You are awesome;)

  • i had pain in my wrist/hand going all the way up to my elbow from playing computer games. i stopped playing games and the the pain never seemed to get better. i started doing these exercises. like others have stated i felt immediate relief. after 2 weeks of doing them 2 to 4 times a day, the pain has finally went away. i continue to keep stretching my tendons like this to make sure it wont come back.. dont know if it will work for everyone but it worked for me...

  • Thanks alot for sharing this great information God Bless you brother!

  • Pfft crazy fool you couldnt do that to save your life if you have tendonites; trust me I know!!

  • thank you for this video. as i was following the steps while watching your video, i was IMMEDIATELY relieved! i am not exaggerating, this is indeed very useful. :)

  • @preciouslove10 re you wrote "I was immediately relieved" Yes, I know what you mean... I also, felt immediate relief of pain. I am a violinist and a computer nerd and high risk for carpal tunnel. :(

  • @dbaseII me too, i am a computer nerd and it's a good thing we both found this video. :) i am doing the exercises now once in a while to release some tension and i take vitamin B as well, to relax my muscles. very helpful, you should try it too. :)

  • that last stretch i felt it go up through my neck dang o_o

  • Thanks so much!

  • Your exercises seem very useful, I'm trying them already, I'll let you know if I feel better. Thanks for sharing, and BTW I love the setting!

  • Thanks a loy\t!

    I'm currently suffering from tendonitis, and seeing a physiotherapist for it. These stretches have helped immensely in reducing the pain.

    I cannot thank you enough! :D

  • Some of those hurt quite a bit actually.

  • Thank you, I will try these and see what happens.

  • Thank you soo much, very informative , Works great for tendonitis :D

  • Wow, thanks for so much. I had been suffering with - what I was told was carpal tunnel syndrome, then I saw your video and started doing your exercises, within two days the pain in my hand started to subside and within a week - it was like a miracle. Today I went to see the Consultant and was told that my carpal tunnel is resolved. Why doesn't anyone tell you its this simple instead of giving painkillers and anti inflammatories for months on end. Thanks again

  • @Alanakeech I think that is a really good question.

  • @DavidKuckhermann I agree. I had tendonitis that caused me to take leave from work for 2 months. If I had just known about these, I would have never had to do that.

  • @DavidKuckhermann Probably involves money.

  • @Alanakeech Because the medical/pharmaceutical industry profits off of the TREATMENT of your problems, not from RESOLVING them.

  • @Alanakeech this sounds too good to be true, you're probably a friend.

  • @Alanakeech because america is built on capitalism and the doctors wouldnt make any money if you were healthy!

  • @Alanakeech I sure hope this is true for me too! I will start these exercises tonight. I have had pain on the outside of my wrist for over two weeks. Had it xrayed thinking it might be fractured, never thought it could be carpal tunnel? I am just praying this will resolve it....piano teacher needs to work!

  • i think its due to the fact that every time they prescribe something they actually get a cut off what they sold..and drugs are drugs so some do get addicted and do go back for more which is sad since Exercises and healthy foods are bound to keep you in mint condition.

  • @Alanakeech Thanks so much for sharing your story. I feel so much more encouraged now. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome only a few weeks ago (after having nerve conduction tests and an EMG). I want so badly to avoid surgery for it. Now I feel like I actually might be able to do so.

  • Thank you so much!

  • thank you so much for your help!

  • Thanks for it... my little finger has been asleep so much all the time... right after I did this, It felt better actually! I will remember these and do them later on too! :D

  • Thank you for your help I appreciate it.

  • I didn't realize how sore my wrist was until I tried the first stretch! Thanks for the help

  • OMG this is amazing! I did it and my whole body felt relieved! Thank you!

  • That third stretch is a miracle for me , i can't flick my wrist for 1 month without severe pain due to hyper-extention of my ligament from badminton , after that stretch im able to flick it without feeling that dreaded sharp pain finally .

  • thanks! :)

  • Thank you so much!

  • Argh, only just got to the first stretch and my wrist started hurting like a bitch >.<

  • @barby04 My tendonitis (I think it is from lifting weights in the gym) seems to be better but I wake up with pain and stiffness in my wrist especially when I move my thumb and little finger tips together. Seams to get less painful in daytime. My fear is that this problem will never go away until I have surgery.

  • only stretches i've found that feel good

  • will this work? i am a senior in highschool working hard on my portfolio for art college. all summer i did nothing but paint and draw.. so now i have tendonitis. how long does it take to heal? i need my right hand when school starts! and i need to finish more pieces for my portfolio..

    doc said to rest it in this brace... but i cant resist taking it off to draw more. so is excersize best or is resting?

  • @barby04 I think mine is clearing up and with any luck I won't need surgery. I am praying I won't need surgery. I has been over 2 months since it started hurting so it is very scary.

  • i love you

  • What I don't understand is some people tell you to rest it and don't use it and keep it in a wrist brace but some people tell you to stretch it. Well it's either one or the other but it can't be both.

  • @mickey0667 i have the same problem. i have tendonitis and my hand is currently in a brace but my doctor said although I should rest it and take time off work it's not good to have it completely immobile. So I just take the brace off every now and then during the day. I plan on doing these exercises in a few days after I have recuperated a bit more so I don't stress the tendons/muscles too much. Hopefully that works. Just my two cents =]

  • @mickey0667It's good to keep it in a brace at night where you could hurt yourself through bad positioning and good to stretch it during the day - you don't want to be in a brace all day unless you are seriously injured. Stretching helps to relax the tendons - and eventually increase mobility. Also you aren't suppose to stretch it so much that it hurts - just enough to get a stretch until flexibility increases and you can stretch further. I'm learning...but that makes sense to me.

  • @mickey0667 I believe the idea is to rest as much as possible while the tendons are still inflamed, and to use these stretches once they have healed to prevent further damage.

  • @mickey0667 why not? isn't it ideal to do the stretches then keeping the tendons straight with a brace?

  • wow that is amazing!!

  • omg it worked pain is gone already ty man

  • I thought tendons couldn't be exercised the way muscles can? Interesting...

  • Thanks so much for this video! Even after following along with this video and doing these stretches my right wrist that has been aching feels better! I'll keep doing these

  • hey i got a bump on the left side of the top of my wrist, im pretty sure it is from overuse because i was having wrist pains before, i am i landscaper so everyday i am repetitivly using my wrists, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what i should do?

  • @mindlessflanagan that's probably a ganglion, I have the same :-/ its very annoying to get rid of....

    Kinda the only way is to operate it, but its not guaranteed to help.

  • Comment removed

  • Favourited.

  • I like how he recommends talking to a physicist :)

  • I am presently recovering from De Quervain's Tenosynovitus and am going to share these stretches with the OT I am seeing. Thank you.

  • Thank you, this has been a great help. It relieves pressure on my wrists after prolonged computer use.

  • Thanks for the info! I'm going to try these exescises because every time I lift weights my right wrist hurts. Thanks again!

  • @Valsorim24 same here has it helped ??!?

  • @whatugundo Yea it helps a lot stretching out before weight lifting. I noticed its easier now to weight lift and it does not hurt as much. It's getting better and better. Oh and you can do Wrist Curls and Reverse Wrist Curls to help strengthen you're wrist.

  • Thank you! This should help my tendonitis!

  • Thanks!  Now I need to find a video about back and shoulders from being hunched over a desk all day *looks through user's channel*

  • Holy shit, I never thought of streatching my wrists and such! This was really helpful, since I draw so much! Thank man! :D

  • I would hug you if you were next to me! I haven't been able to work on my art portfolio for a week now, and a 4 minute exercise fixed that !

  • Thank you man, that's great/helpful knowledge you shared.

  • WHOO! Thank you VERY much!

  • Awesome! I play piano and didn't have any pain, but i wanted to make sure i didn't get carpal tunnel from it anyway. I will do these stretches before and after i play now! Thanks!

  • Thank you, David. Over the last few months I've begun to take hand drumming more seriously and I've developed craps from my hands all the way to my shoulders. These stretches have helped a lot. Also, I've learned quite a bit from you other instructional videos :)

  • @jonnyhatter35 i meant cramps** not craps LOL

  • THANK YOU ! my new job has me working my wrists alot and they've been in pain for a week now.. thank you so much they feel so much better

  • thank you thank you thank you, works great for guitarist to :D

  • Thanks! I felt some pain and then it felt a little better. I'll use these regularly

  • I only feel pain in my wrist when I push on something. I can no longer do pushups with flat hands instead I have to hold a dumbell like a handle or make a fist and I wear rings! What exercises can I do to help my wrist allow me to be flat handed for weight baring exercises...ie YOGA!!??!!

  • @Charley711away711 Try using wrist wraps to tighten your wrists, i've had a wrist tendoitist and it REALLY helped me get through it, eventhough it took 9 months to recover. I overloaded biceps and benchpress 2 times a week how dumb was I at that time.I only need them when i overload my last set, idk how i could go without them now. FUlly recovered :)

  • am an hairdresser.. and my thumb really bothering me the pain.. hope this exercise will work for me.. thanks in advance!

  • Oh Crap! Most excellent stretches!

  • I get the worst pain in my right hand only, a sharp numbness and little jolts of feels like electricity. I play video games for a living and I only get this when I pick up my controller. I've changed my controllers 4 times thinking that was the problem but I think I've developed carpal tunnel.

  • is it just me or do you laugh when you do there stretches.

  • Smart man!

    

  • Thank you so much!

  • Great stretches I love that last one it works well for me.

  • Wow! I have to say these stretches work. I have recently got back into construction work ans I use a hammer all day and my right hand would be hard to make a fist, i could get to about 50% it would pause and then feel it snap into a fist, overnight not using it was more painful. I just did these stretches and it feels so great to make a fist without pain. I know I have long ways to go but this is a great start! Thanks for your video its now a fav for me

  • great advise, i have been walking on my hands a lot lately and my wrists were getting a lot of wear and tear, these exercises helped immediately after doing them. Awesome stuff
