This short 5 minute video shows you what to do after you've had carpal tunnel release surgery in order to get the best outcome. It ensures that the 9 tendons and the median nerve in the carpal tunnel are all moved independently of each other to ensure adhesions do not form.
Post-operative hand therapy should be performed from Day 1 while still in dressings. This video serves as a guide only and please follow your own surgeon's advice and is also dependent on how your wound heals. The exercises may need to be altered/delayed if you have a wound problem or delayed healing.

yea I do not understand how doctors still doing open carpal tunnel surgery release, do your research, with all these technologies there are other procedures this days that makes recovery much faster

There is always a place for newer minimal access techniques, and we do them as well, but patient selection is important. As a specialist nerve surgery unit, we also see all the complications from these newer minimal access procedures that haven't been around long enough to have obtained enough of a safety profile, and risking the possibilities of nerve pain for life for short term quicker recovery is a choice not everyone might want to make as the outcome at 3 months are the same for both procedures. There are also a lot of places which might not be able to afford the newer technologies.

Значит этот синдром без операции не лечится.??? А я все видео упражнения каждый день выполняю с надеждой, что в один прекрасный день этот синдром исчезнет😢

OK, but what about if your fingers and hand is really swollen and your fingers will not move up-and-down like mine

You will have to gradually do it, and elevate your hand as much as you can to reduce the swelling and then you can mobilise more. Consult your doctor if you are having problems as issues like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome should be identified and treated early.
