Would you like to get rid of your carpal tunnel pain naturally?
Here are seven simple tips that will help you help get rid of your carpal tunnel pain.
1. Strengthen the back side of your upper arms. The front side of your arms are often held in bent, shortened positions for long periods. We need to open up the short front arm muscles and strengthen the back arm muscles to create balance.
2. Get and keep a strong back. A strong back side, all the way from your thighs to neck, will keep you in good posture. Good posture means less pain. Having a strong back will help you hold your shoulders back and prevent a whole lot of pain in your future.

3. Do lots of comfortable stretches. Do them in the opposite direction of the way you usually work or play. Get your arms up over your head or behind you. It’s easy to do this in bed – less fighting of gravity.
4. A good therapeutic massage can also be a great help for carpal tunnel pain. A knowledgeable massage therapist will know where to work to
benefit you most. (You might be surprised it’s no where near your carpal tunnel!) And, he or she might be able to make suggestions for things you can do to help yourself. Here’s how to find one who can help you.
5. Do something that will open up the muscles in the front of your body. Do something that will cause you to be strong and in balance. Take a tai chi, yoga or stretching class (very important: make sure it includes stretching chest and arm muscles.)
6. Improve your nutrition and your water intake. Bodies need lots of vitamins and minerals to function well, so “eat for color” (veggies and fruit) and/or take a really good vitamin supplement. Muscles work best when they are well hydrated so remember to drink plenty of water.
7. Take frequent breaks if you have to work in fixed positions for long periods of time. Taking lots of little breaks is often better than taking just one long break. Move your arms and hands in different positions than the ones you usually use.
There you have it. Seven simple tips to help you get rid of your carpal tunnel pain naturally. You have a smart body. It wants to be well.
