Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common peripheral nerve entrapments, affecting millions worldwide, particularly individuals who engage in repetitive hand movements. This condition occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed. The resulting symptoms—including numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness—can significantly impair daily activities and quality of life. What often goes unrecognized is how powerfully structured exercises can influence symptom relief and even contribute to long-term recovery. Among the most effective approaches are carpal tunnel tendon glides and median nerve stretching exercises, which directly target the mechanical and functional restrictions within the wrist and forearm.
