I saw immediate improvement from being unable to lift my pinky to full movement. I was so worried, this really felt like a miracle thank you all for sharing this knowledge
Hi, I had a client, rock climbing enthusiast with history of chronic ( 6-7 months), recurrent sensory symptoms along the ulnar nerve distribution without any motor loss. He had seen a chiropractor had few manipulation which did not help. After initial testing neural tension tests were positive with no signs of cervical restrictions. tests for TOS were negative. I prescribed him these exercise to be done twice daily for a week & boom! all his symptoms showed a 100% improvement.Thank you very much
PERFECT!!!!!!!!! Exactly the exercises I needed. and I saw an improvement in a week. After a month, all gone. I have full function and strength back in my arm that was affected.My sincere thanks for providing this information publically.
Can I ask how many times a day you did these exercises? Is the prescribed amount in the video enough? And did you do any other stretches or movements? I know this was from 4 years ago but I'm hoping you will see this comment still.
@@nicholasbray4854 i also had this issue but now i m good.. doing this exercise only for 10 minutes twice a day u need to be very patience in the beginning i got recovered within a month doctor had advised me for surgery procedure but i denied and tried this exercise exceptionally i recovered it was like miracle..u also try i bet u also gonna be fine..
@@shahdclasher2057 mine started 2 weeks ago, and started PT 2 days ago. Ive been considering the surgery for tunnel release mainly because I am limited to 40 PT visits per year and I have injuries in knees, back, shoulders, chest, and hips. So my main concern was if PT dosnt help the nerve issue, and I end up needing the surgery anyway and will have to do PT anyway, why not just do surgery straight off the bat so I dont use up valuable PT sessions. But I will give PT 2-4 weeks and see how I feel. I just dont want to wait too long before I lose function in my fingers permanantley.
Wow I have had serious tingling, numbness and pain in all my fingers for over a month... just did about 30 seconds of these exercises while watching the video and felt immediate relief! Thank you so much!
I wish more doctors and rehab specialists took the time to explain how the nerves work! Thank you! Part of the struggle is not knowing what is going on!
exactly my only problem with mine, but I guess they have very limited time for it for an appointment of 30 min or so. Good thing there are these specialists on the internet.
I usually don’t comment on videos but you left me with no choice but to thank you. I’m feeling better already after trying the exercises for only 2 minutes. Thank you so much.
I love you for this video. I've been doing these exercises every other day and the numbness in my elbow/wrist/fingers has dramatically decreased. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I suffered from nerve pain in my right arm. For 6 months, I couldn't sleep as my arm would be dead, and have a dull ache, throbs, and tingles... I tried this and it went away after a few days... Thank you!
Hello! I am a Registered Dental Hygienist (15 years) who has undergone a right shoulder impingement/bone spur surgery, and a De Quervains surgery on the right wrist. My X-rays show several bulging discs, severe loss of neck curvature, a rotated pelvis, and scoliosis. I am no stranger to PT and ART. Your nerve gliding videos and tutorials have been MONUMENTAL in reducing much of my chronic discomfort and pain. I want to thank you for sharing your information, as I truly appreciate the time, effort and care you put into these videos.
LOOK UP BONE BREATHING its an ancient Tai Chi practice and I've heard anecdote of an woman with back problems similar to yours who corrected herself after maintaining this practice every day for 3 years. It may be a long time but definitely worth it and you'll likely enjoy the gradual improvements as time goes on. Also look up Joe Dispenza for self heaing with the mind. He has a book about it called Becoming Supernatural. This guy fixed his back fully through thought alone after getting hit by a truck and refusing surgery. You can find his interviews on youtube. ENJOY!
I've been doing tai chi for health, with slow smooth and continuous movements but never realized how much I've been 'flossing' the nerves. Thank you for the video!
i’ve been having ulnar nerve pain on and off for a while but nothing like recently. I’m a college student in my last semester of undergrad and my pain has made taking notes difficult and it’s even been painful to type out texts. after doing 2 minutes of these exercises i’ve found MAJOR relief. i was so scared that this would never go away. thank you so much, sincerely. thank you thank you
Thanks for watching! Besides our videos, we also provide a wide range of articles on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that you might find interesting. You can check out our PDF index here: bit.ly/3voAw7N
I'm having ulnar nerve entrapment for thee last 3 weeks, and i was quite tensed and even thought that its never gonna go away. But yesterday i found your this video, and did all the exercises for nearly 3-4 times and slept with a belief that i will be OK tomorrow morning and now i'm feeling a 100 times better. No pain at all, and i only feel a bit of numbness in 2 fingers while holding things... Rest is OK 100%, i dont even remember i have UlnarVein Entrapment. Thanks for the video !
THANK YOU!!! I've been in considerable pain for the past two days now, and tension on my right shoulder/elbow/wrist for several years. I tried the exercises as the video was playing and can already tell they will help get the ulnar nerve away from irritation.
Thank you guys!... I was able to sleep without numbness in my last two fingers after almost a year of having the symptoms every night. I really appreciate your video. :)
nice!! thank you..relieved my pain in my elbow in 2 minutes..that i have been living with for 4 months..will continue with the exercise's daily..especially before work..truly happy to find relief!
Excellent ulnar nerve flossing exercises. I tried those exercises after experiencing numbness on my pinky. After two months, the numbness was gone. Thank you!
thank you soooooo much. i recently was in a cast for almost 2 months w a complete fracture of the distal end of the radius, but its been my ulnar nerve that has been affected. I am a therapeutic bodyworker, and i get occasional shooting sharp pain w only certain movements, but def its my ulnar nerve that is affected. However, discussing w all manner of health care professionals, me being very specific about what my issues are and what functionality i'm lacking, its like no one wants to listen. even the hand therapist i went to gave me exercises that haven't done anything for my primary issue. i've never heard of nerve flossing before, but it makes total sense, and after watching this and trying it, i can tell already it is going to help. thank you so much for posting. i wish i live closer.
Thank you! I fractured my elbow years ago and recently began experiencing ulnar nerve pain. I could not sleep because of pain one night so I did some of these exercises and it really made a big difference. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
i can't even describe how relieving this video was.. i haven't personally seen a doctor about it but i could already tell this was what i had. these exercises have ceased my pain that's been occurring these past two days. thank you sooo much for putting this up.
Hey guys, I found your video while doing a Google search a few months ago... I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am to you for putting this online. Physiotherapists and osteopaths had given me the correct diagnosis (my ulnar nerve was stuck) but couldn't help me with my problem. I immediately started feeling better when I first did your exercises (and specifically the "waiter's plate" exercise). Again, thanks so much for doing this and keep up the good work!
I have used these exercises in the past with great success and am back to use them again. These are very easy to do and very helpful. I share this video with people a lot.
I had an accident a few years ago and severed my ulnar nerve, artery and tendon, some of these excercises were a part of my physical therapy and really helped!
Wow these are amazing. I've looked for stretches and exercises for the ulnar nerve but found nothing that targets it as well as this. I definitely feel it in my compressed ulnar nerve and I expect this to work wonders soon.
I have problems with ulnar nerve on my left arm for almost 5 years. I am 24 years old and recently I hit my arm just in the elbow directly in the nerve...Nasty feeling :/ now I do these exercises and I can proudly announce that they really help, even the first day now I experience a great relief. Thanks to people like doctor Abelson for posting videos like this.
Renz Drew It's good for now. I'm avoiding to support my arm when sitting on the desk on my elbow. And all is good now. Going to the gym and also exercising the forearm helps me a looot!
Thank You. I'm an engineer and fell against a power press using my left arm and hit my left elbow with all my weight. Just recently lost all sensation in my little finger. These exercises really work Thanks again.
Thank you so much for these exercises.. I've been suffering from cubital tunnel syndrome the past week and you really helped me. Dr. Evangelos Mylonas, παντού υπάρχει ένας Έλληνας ρε πατρίδα! :)
I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. I have started to get cubital tunnel syndrome in both hands as well. Just yesterday it was really flaring up in my right arm. I did these exercises and the next day I felt much better. It started flaring up this morning in my left arm and I repeated those exercises for my left arm and I already feel better. Thank you for showing us these exercises.
Hello @hannahpatten7226, Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience! While I can’t provide advice on individual cases without a proper examination, I’m glad you found the video helpful. Consistency can be key with exercises like these, but always listen to your body and avoid pushing through sharp or worsening pain. If your symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a qualified healthcare practitioner to assess your condition and provide personalized care. You might also find our articles on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, including ulnar nerve entrapment, helpful-feel free to explore them here: bit.ly/3voAw7N. Wishing you all the best on your journey to recovery! Dr. Brian Abelson, DC
Thanks so much for sharing these exercises, I'd been having trouble with ulnar nerve entrapment the last couple weeks and these are definitely helping to relieve the issue.
Thanks so much for this great video! I've had numbness in my left pinky and ring finger for about 3 years. I ride dirt bikes and at times it was hard to grip my left handlebar properly because of the numbness. I had no idea it was the ulnar nerve that caused this. I have the feeling back in my pinky and ring finger after doing the flossing exercise just a few times. I also have better grip strength in my left hand now. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much , I had Cubital tunnel release two years ago, and have been suffering on and off since , I tried these exercises for the first time today I can already feel the difference, This is the video to watch.
Thank you for watching our video. In addition to our visual content, we offer an extensive collection of articles on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that might interest you. Here's the direct link to our PDF index for your convenience: bit.ly/3voAw7N
thank you so much for this. I am a bodywork therapist and yoga instructor and recently sprained my sprained my wrist due to repetitive stress. After the sprain healed and the swelling subsided I was left with a numb tingling on the ring finger. I have been doing exercises and movement that has probably kept it from getting worse, but these specific exercises are stellar!
This helped alot! Im a security guard and always have my arms on the desk and half my right hand felt numb for days and 2 days after these exercises its nearly gone THANKS!!
I am so happy I found this! I bike at least two hours a day and on a recent 7-hour ride I lost all feeling in my ring and pinkie finger. I noticed a drastic improvement upon doing these exercises for the first time, and after a week of doing them every second day my hand is getting closer and closer to back to normal, thank you!!
Hi Dr Abelson and team! I had a flare up of this today at work and found this video when I got home. Upon doing these exercises for a bit, I felt strong relief but honesty I think the mere idea of my nerve getting to be stretched helped me mentally and this contributed to the sensation not bothering me! It’s just the idea that my pinched nerve is getting good relief , almost like finally scratching an itch you could not reach! Thank you , I drive home with my elbow bent on an 1 hr 25 min commute both ways, making my elbow bent for like 2 hours and 50 minutes a day while driving and also I’m an office worker who is constantly on the computer with elbow bent, but I will do these exercises diligently to help alleviate and combat this syndrome. Thank you for the video Doctors!
Hello @mariusloveless7880, thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I’m glad to hear that the exercises provided some relief and helped you mentally. Unfortunately, I cannot give advice or comment on specific cases without performing a physical examination and taking a complete history. That being said, it’s great that you’re committed to doing these exercises diligently. Consistent practice can be very beneficial. However, I strongly recommend seeing a healthcare practitioner to ensure you receive personalized care. Thank you for the feedback and keep up the good work! Dr. Brian Abelson DC
Thank you so much for these simple to do exercises! (I haven't tried the dish one yet!) I've had shoulder pain for a very long time and have tried different exercises but nothing has ever really worked...UNTIL I tried these! In just a matter of days my pain has all but disappeared! It's truly a miracle!
i been suffering frm thiz like 3-4month...and when it try out your exercise within 2min i feel like my fingers are working normal and all the pain gone..thq you so much. god bless you
wow, those first two flossing exercises honestly instantly relieved most pain/tingling in my ring and pinky finger. I usually don't comment on videos but thank you for posting this Kinetic Health! I will be passing this knowledge along to friends and family who ask what to do about this issue.
my boyfriend hurt his elbow a couple years back snowboarding, but recently he has noticed pain/stiffness in the wrist and pinky and ring fingers (he's a baker and there are a lot of repetitive movements in shaping the dough). Got pretty painful within the last couple days-- we did a few of these exercises and he immediately noticed some relief. thanks so much for posting it!
Immensely helpful. Many Thanks ! I wish the other members of medical fraternity inspire from you and post such invaluable advise online to help alleviate the patient's pain !
Started having discomfort in the same areas. I work a desk job and ride a motorcycle for about 8 out of 12 months. These exercises have helped a lot. Thank you for you knowledge and help.
I’ve had this pain for last 3 days and it is getting intense. I’ve been looking everywhere for some help. I will try these exercises now. I usually go to my corrective chiropractor but haven’t been two months so I may go visit this week if there is no improvement but I’m hopeful by reading the comments below! ❤
hello! can i ask how are you now? we experience the same thing. I experienced mine last week and it’s so frustrating to not be able to lift weights on my left arm. I am resting it right now, hopefully it will go away 😔
Thank you. This saved my life! I stopped feeling the burning and numbness in my pinky and ring finger after the exercise in two days. I am extremely grateful.
seems like just the video i have been looking for, all the exercises had an immediate impact, and im hoping will help keep me loose in the long run, thank you.
wow that tai chi move is pretty effective for me . I've been having nerve issues in my hands for a couple of months now . doing that move triggers all the nerves causing me problems . I'm gonna try this a bit more . maybe it will help me over time
just a couple stretch sessions and limited use of wrist paired with anti-inflammatory drugs and I'm already feeling back to normal, amazing!!!! THANK YOU!!
thank you for posting these exercises, im a cyclist also and 4 months ago my whole right side of my body went numb from head to toes while riding, now I only have it in my right hand, knee and foot, after months of being treated for a TIA I went to a different neurologist and she determined this is what I have, she recommended wrist splints and put me on folic acid pills 1mg, im definitely gonna incorporate these excercises in to my daily routine and riding... let you know if it improves
I've always had problems with elbow tendonitis, went to physical therapy, have tried things from strengthening the rotator cuff to the forearm. These movements singlehandedly gave me more relief IMMEDIATELY than anything else. Thank you.
I'm a church organist/accompanist and I've been experiencing nerve pain in my pinky when I play, and an elbow that cracks very noticeably on extension. Just did these exercises for the first time and the elbow cracking has stopped! Excited to continue these exercises for a few weeks to see if they will help with my pinky pain too.
I had severe pain around my ulnar nerve and pinky side wrist for the last 6 weeks due to weightlifting. This morning I couldn't take it anymore (after weeks of compressiong and icing and resting) so I tried these exercises. I'm pretty sure all the pain is 99% gone, especially from the tai chi exercise. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! WOW
Had nerve condition 3 weeks 80% numbness, muscle wasting in r. hand . Saw GP, then Spec. They failed to recommend exercises and habit reform . They pushed the big buttons , injections and then after 6 weeks elbow/hand surgery . I am 2 weeks out of surgery , and now wish I had had the advice and method of doing exercises from the start . I saw therapy people and doctors and it is amazing how little they know except to get the knife out.
Thank you guys so much. Most places charge for these types of things, but your free information videos are a help to everyone and a shining example of using the internet to help others.
Fantastic video! This helped me about a year ago, and I had forgotten the entire issue I had until I just started having the same problem at my inner left elbow the other day. I realized how much it seemed to change when I did some stretches, and remembered this video. INCREDIBLE relief after just doing the exercises a few times!! BRAVO!
Thanks. I had lost a lot of flexibility in my arm and wrist because I was afraid of hurting myself due to my Deypeutren's Contractions. Ends up my ulnar was the issue. These exercises expand upon what my doctor/pt had shown me and having them on video is a great help.
I just had this symptom that is very more likely a problem of the Ulnar nerve cpnpressed. Looking forward for my home exercising approach. Video was very well explained and executed! Thumbs up from me!
I recommend this video to everyone, It works perfectly if cubital tunnel started on your arm recently, you are very lucky to watch this video. thank you very much Doctors..
Thank you for this video. Been struggling with this for 3 years. 45 physical therapy appointments to no avail, lots of ice, icy hot, tiger balm, forearm straps, etc. All to no avail. I think I finally found 1) my issue (cubital tunnel/ulnar nerve, and 2) a potential solution.
As with everyone else posting here, thanks so much for sharing this! I just tried them for 5 minutes, and already I'm feeling relief! I'll be doing this multiple times a day from now on!
@@robbieanderson227 are you currently experiencing this problem? I am since 2 weeks, and was wondering if there are more people currently having this problem to share experiences

thank you so much for this. I am a bodywork therapist and yoga instructor and recently sprained my sprained my wrist due to repetitive stress. After the sprain healed and the swelling subsided I was left with a numb tingling on the ring finger. I have been doing exercises and movement that has probably kept it from getting worse, but these specific exercises are stellar!
Really glad I stumbled on this video. All the exercises are explained really well and seem to have helped my cubital tunnel heal faster. Thank you!!
This helped alot! Im a security guard and always have my arms on the desk and half my right hand felt numb for days and 2 days after these exercises its nearly gone THANKS!!
You are very welcome!
I have had ulnar nerve entrapment for years and it wakes me nearly every night with numbness and pins and needles, so thanks I will try these :)
how are you now??? hope all is well. any improvement??
I am so happy I found this! I bike at least two hours a day and on a recent 7-hour ride I lost all feeling in my ring and pinkie finger. I noticed a drastic improvement upon doing these exercises for the first time, and after a week of doing them every second day my hand is getting closer and closer to back to normal, thank you!!
Hi Dr Abelson and team! I had a flare up of this today at work and found this video when I got home. Upon doing these exercises for a bit, I felt strong relief but honesty I think the mere idea of my nerve getting to be stretched helped me mentally and this contributed to the sensation not bothering me! It’s just the idea that my pinched nerve is getting good relief , almost like finally scratching an itch you could not reach! Thank you , I drive home with my elbow bent on an 1 hr 25 min commute both ways, making my elbow bent for like 2 hours and 50 minutes a day while driving and also I’m an office worker who is constantly on the computer with elbow bent, but I will do these exercises diligently to help alleviate and combat this syndrome. Thank you for the video Doctors!
Hello @mariusloveless7880, thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I’m glad to hear that the exercises provided some relief and helped you mentally. Unfortunately, I cannot give advice or comment on specific cases without performing a physical examination and taking a complete history. That being said, it’s great that you’re committed to doing these exercises diligently. Consistent practice can be very beneficial. However, I strongly recommend seeing a healthcare practitioner to ensure you receive personalized care. Thank you for the feedback and keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for these simple to do exercises! (I haven't tried the dish one yet!) I've had shoulder pain for a very long time and have tried different exercises but nothing has ever really worked...UNTIL I tried these! In just a matter of days my pain has all but disappeared! It's truly a miracle!
How was your routine? every day, every other day? how many times per day? thanks
i been suffering frm thiz like 3-4month...and when it try out your exercise within 2min i feel like my fingers are working normal and all the pain gone..thq you so much. god bless you
How are your symptoms now?
how are you now? pain ever come back?
Thank you. My ring finger is freezing and ulnar nerve seems to be the culprit. I'll try these exercises, hopefully it'll get better.
wow, those first two flossing exercises honestly instantly relieved most pain/tingling in my ring and pinky finger. I usually don't comment on videos but thank you for posting this Kinetic Health! I will be passing this knowledge along to friends and family who ask what to do about this issue.
I just tried these exercises and felt immediate relief. Thank you so much.
my boyfriend hurt his elbow a couple years back snowboarding, but recently he has noticed pain/stiffness in the wrist and pinky and ring fingers (he's a baker and there are a lot of repetitive movements in shaping the dough). Got pretty painful within the last couple days-- we did a few of these exercises and he immediately noticed some relief. thanks so much for posting it!
Immensely helpful. Many Thanks !
I wish the other members of medical fraternity inspire from you and post such invaluable advise online to help alleviate the patient's pain !
My numbness went away instantly. Amazing
Felt instant relief in my traps. Have tricep and trap pain for almost 10 years now. Hopefully this will help
Started having discomfort in the same areas. I work a desk job and ride a motorcycle for about 8 out of 12 months. These exercises have helped a lot. Thank you for you knowledge and help.
Wonderful to discover an aid in Ulna pinched nerve exercises
I’ve had this pain for last 3 days and it is getting intense. I’ve been looking everywhere for some help. I will try these exercises now. I usually go to my corrective chiropractor but haven’t been two months so I may go visit this week if there is no improvement but I’m hopeful by reading the comments below! ❤
hello! can i ask how are you now? we experience the same thing. I experienced mine last week and it’s so frustrating to not be able to lift weights on my left arm. I am resting it right now, hopefully it will go away 😔
Just did these exercises and my hand/arm feel so much better already! Thank you!
I felt immediate relief for the first time in a few months after doing these exercises.
how are you now? ever find full relief?
Thank you. This saved my life! I stopped feeling the burning and numbness in my pinky and ring finger after the exercise in two days. I am extremely grateful.
seems like just the video i have been looking for, all the exercises had an immediate impact, and im hoping will help keep me loose in the long run, thank you.
Thank you so much for creating this video. It took about 2 months of consistently doing the exercises but it worked out great.
wow that tai chi move is pretty effective for me . I've been having nerve issues in my hands for a couple of months now . doing that move triggers all the nerves causing me problems . I'm gonna try this a bit more . maybe it will help me over time
Oh my goodness. I've been having problems for at least 2 months. Definitely going to try these exercises. Thank you for sharing
just a couple stretch sessions and limited use of wrist paired with anti-inflammatory drugs and I'm already feeling back to normal, amazing!!!! THANK YOU!!
thank you for posting these exercises, im a cyclist also and 4 months ago my whole right side of my body went numb from head to toes while riding, now I only have it in my right hand, knee and foot, after months of being treated for a TIA I went to a different neurologist and she determined this is what I have, she recommended wrist splints and put me on folic acid pills 1mg, im definitely gonna incorporate these excercises in to my daily routine and riding... let you know if it improves
I've always had problems with elbow tendonitis, went to physical therapy, have tried things from strengthening the rotator cuff to the forearm. These movements singlehandedly gave me more relief IMMEDIATELY than anything else. Thank you.
I'm a church organist/accompanist and I've been experiencing nerve pain in my pinky when I play, and an elbow that cracks very noticeably on extension. Just did these exercises for the first time and the elbow cracking has stopped! Excited to continue these exercises for a few weeks to see if they will help with my pinky pain too.
thanx a lot.. i hv been suffering from ulnar nerve pain for 2 weeks now.. d exercises r helpful in relieving d pain.. thank u guyz..
A heart felt thank you to all of those involved in delivering this information.
I had severe pain around my ulnar nerve and pinky side wrist for the last 6 weeks due to weightlifting. This morning I couldn't take it anymore (after weeks of compressiong and icing and resting) so I tried these exercises. I'm pretty sure all the pain is 99% gone, especially from the tai chi exercise. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! WOW
Hi. How are you? Can you tell me your routine? every day, every other day? how many times per day? thanks
Had nerve condition 3 weeks 80% numbness, muscle wasting in r. hand . Saw GP, then Spec. They failed to recommend exercises and habit reform . They pushed the big buttons , injections and then after 6 weeks elbow/hand surgery . I am 2 weeks out of surgery , and now wish I had had the advice and method of doing exercises from the start . I saw therapy people and doctors and it is amazing how little they know except to get the knife out.
Omg! I have had decreased ROM in my pinkie finger for two months. After doing these exercises one time, I can see some improvement. Thank-you.
Thank you guys so much. Most places charge for these types of things, but your free information videos are a help to everyone and a shining example of using the internet to help others.
Fantastic video! This helped me about a year ago, and I had forgotten the entire issue I had until I just started having the same problem at my inner left elbow the other day. I realized how much it seemed to change when I did some stretches, and remembered this video. INCREDIBLE relief after just doing the exercises a few times!! BRAVO!
Thanks. I had lost a lot of flexibility in my arm and wrist because I was afraid of hurting myself due to my Deypeutren's Contractions. Ends up my ulnar was the issue. These exercises expand upon what my doctor/pt had shown me and having them on video is a great help.
Thank you , I had this issue, It took me 3 weeks however, have revived Completely because of you.Thanks Allot
did it ever come back?
Thank you for this video. I prefer stretches over taking medicine. This really helped to relieve my pain which radiates from hand to shoulder.
Glad it was helpful!
Not sure what the magic is, but seeing a lot of improvement after doing these exercises for only a few days. Wish I had found this video months ago.
Well I was suffering from nearly a year and after doing some of your exercises, pain faded away and I am like new...
WOW, thank you, it's been 2 days and I am already feeling some relief.
Wow, that feels better just after going through one routine of this. I have a typing/desk job, this felt great!
I just had this symptom that is very more likely a problem of the Ulnar nerve cpnpressed. Looking forward for my home exercising approach. Video was very well explained and executed! Thumbs up from me!
I recommend this video to everyone, It works perfectly if cubital tunnel started on your arm recently, you are very lucky to watch this video. thank you very much Doctors..
how are you now? ever find full relief?
Fixed my elbow pain when I was doing push ups👌🏽
Austin Castanon how are you now? im having also elbow pain when flexing and doing skull crushers
I’ve been having bad elbow pain and spasms when doing push-ups, hope this helps!
Thank you Sam, the palm over ear exercise has definitely helped
Thank you so much i am having a lot of relief from these exercises
You're most welcome!
Thank you for this video. Been struggling with this for 3 years. 45 physical therapy appointments to no avail, lots of ice, icy hot, tiger balm, forearm straps, etc. All to no avail. I think I finally found 1) my issue (cubital tunnel/ulnar nerve, and 2) a potential solution.
keep us posted
As with everyone else posting here, thanks so much for sharing this! I just tried them for 5 minutes, and already I'm feeling relief! I'll be doing this multiple times a day from now on!
How are you now? Better?
