Ulnar Nerve Flossing - For individuals affected by ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome, these exercises serve to floss, mobilize, and liberate the ulnar nerve from the encircling tissues. The ulnar nerve is susceptible to compression at various locations, including the wrist, beneath the collarbone, or as it emerges from the spinal cord in the neck region. When the ulnar nerve experiences compression at the elbow, this specific condition is termed "cubital tunnel syndrome." The ulnar nerve flossing exercises aim to relieve compression and restore optimal nerve function across these various anatomical sites.
Nerve Flossing Playlist - qrcodes.pro/QMzAwo
The ulnar nerve can be compressed at the wrist, beneath the collarbone, or as it comes out of the spinal cord in the neck. When ulnar nerve compression occurs at the elbow, it is called "cubital tunnel syndrome."

@@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.

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!

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.
