		<description>Hey Ben,

Here are some exercises for your C T S Hope they will be helpful for you and your visitors..


Carpal tunnel exercise for Wrist is that, first make a loose fist with your right hand, then keep the palm in upward position and after that use the left hand to press it gently down against the clenched hand. Now resist the force of the left hand with the closed right hand for five seconds, but be sure that the wrist is kept straight. After that turn the right hand fist palm downwards and press it against the knuckles with the left hand for five seconds and after that finally, turn the right palm in such a way that the thumb-side of the fist is up and press down again for five seconds. After this repeat the same process with the left hand.

Second simple Carpal tunnel exercise is that which is called as wrist circles. According to this wrist circle draw clockwise circles in air with the tips of second and third fingers, which are kept up and close together. After that repeat the same process with left hand.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.safecomputingtips.com/blog/category/carpel-tunnel-syndrome/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Third easy Carpal tunnel exercise&lt;/a&gt; is that first hold a hand straight up next to the shoulder with fingers together and palm facing outward, somewhat like a shoulder-high salute position. After that, bend the hand backward with the fingers still held together with the help of another hand and hold it for five seconds. After that open the fingers and thumb with the hand being in the same bent back position and hold it for five seconds. Now repeat the same process with another hand.</description>

		<description>I am a similar aged software developer also.  Two years back I has having wrist problems that were getting worse each month.  The finally got to a point were I could only type for a minute or two without being in pain. I was always a fan of ergonomics, but things weren&#039;t changing.  I finally found something that worked for me.  

http://www.amazon.com/Pain-Free-Revolutionary-Stopping-Chronic/dp/0553379887/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-0762731-7342517?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1184951753&amp;sr=1-1
Pete Egoscue

He also has a Pain Free at the PC book which I bought first, and might be more applicable.

I really liked his philosophy, since it matched my outlook on medicine.  His idea is that our bodies are designed to handle much more than typing at a computer all day.  He argues that ergonomics attacks the symptom not the problem, even surgery is still fixing a symptom.  The cause in his opinion muscular skeletal imbalance.    He has a series of test and stretches that helps identify the weakness in your body, and then strengthen them.  Amazingly, he argued that my wrist problems stemmed from back tightness and hamstring tightness.  The improper posture and flexibility was causing little tendons in the body to carry the load that should be carried by the major muscles.  After a few years behind the desk, and not much working out my hamstrings were very tight.  I could only do the one exercise for about 15 seconds the first time I tried it, when he argued that it should be a very comfortable sitting position.  After about a month or two of exercises, the pain was completely gone.  I didn&#039;t even spend the amount of time the he recommends(which is a lot).  It may be worth a shot, if you liked anything I wrote. I am not an expert, I just know that it worked from me. Let me know, if you have any questions.  Hope I didn&#039;t sound to preachy, I am just grateful for the health.</description>
