Yoga Wrist Push-Ups for Carpal Tunnel

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Theresa Murphy on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip we're going to look at weight bearing with the hands, to build strength, and to regenerate proper alignment, for the wrists, the wrist bones, and hand bones, and arms, up through the neck. So starting on all fours, the weigh bearing should fall on the inner hands, when you look at the hands as if there was four corners of each hand (the base of the thumb, the base of the index finger, the base of the pinkie and the outer wrist). We tend to, because our biceps are tight from too much gripping and holding, our triceps get weak. So you want to try to really stretch the bicep, open up the eye of the elbow. Get a lot of action, a lot of engagement in your triceps, hugging the outer arm in, and putting most of the weight on the inner edge of the hand so it doesn't look like this. So one simple move we can do here, is just little push-ups on the hands. So I'm keeping my weight forward over my hands. Be careful not to back up out of the line of the arms. Shoulders right over wrists and just slow lifts up, and slow lowers."
