Easy Nerve Glides  |  Early Intervention Ergonomics

What are Easy Nerve Glides?

Nerve glides, also known as neural glides or nerve flossing, are exercises that help mobilize and stretch the nerves in the body. Nerve glides floss the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and promote healthy neural tension of the nervous system. This composite stretch originates at the nerve roots in the brachial plexus and pulls all the way down to the median nerve that passes through the carpal tunnel. Perform this stretch to give your body rest when performing forceful gripping, repetitive gripping, awkward or sustained postures of the elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. They can be beneficial for individuals experiencing nerve-related pain, tingling, or numbness.  Here is how to perform easy nerve glides:

1. Starting with the right side, bend at the elbow and bend at the wrist like you are holding a baby.
2. Next, slowly glide your arm out and up with your palm facing away as if you are stopping a car.
3. Repeat again with “hold the baby” and “stop the car.”
4. Each stretch should take 3-5 seconds
5. Repeat on the left side.

Early Intervention Benefits

Performing nerve glides offers several early intervention benefits, including improved nerve mobility, reduced pain, enhanced circulation, and injury prevention.

Firstly, engaging in nerve glides helps improve nerve mobility. By gently moving and stretching the nerves, these exercises promote healthy nerve gliding, preventing them from becoming compressed or stuck. This improved mobility can alleviate symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness associated with nerve entrapment or irritation.

Moreover, nerve glides can help reduce pain. The controlled movements involved in nerve glide exercises can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Additionally, by promoting proper nerve function and reducing nerve compression, these exercises can alleviate discomfort caused by conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, or brachial plexopathy.

Furthermore, nerve glides contribute to enhanced circulation. As the nerves are gently stretched and mobilized, blood flow to the surrounding tissues increases. Improved circulation delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to the nerves, aiding in their healing and overall health.

In addition to the aforementioned benefits, performing nerve glides can also play a preventive role in injury management. By maintaining optimal nerve mobility, individuals are less prone to developing chronic nerve-related conditions or experiencing further injury. Regularly incorporating these exercises into a comprehensive rehabilitation or wellness routine can help safeguard against future nerve entrapments or injuries.

Things to Remember

Remember, it’s crucial to perform nerve glide exercises gently and within your comfort level. If you experience increased pain or discomfort during the exercises, it’s best to stop immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.

Tennis Elbow Isometric  |  Early Intervention Ergonomics

What Exactly is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition that affects the outer part of the elbow. It is commonly caused by repetitive motion of the wrist and arm. This can lead to small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (the bony bump on the outer part of the elbow).

Some common causes of tennis elbow include:

1. Overuse: Activities that involve repetitive motion of the wrist and arm. Typing on a computer or using hand tools can cause small tears in the tendons over time.
2. Improper technique: Poor technique while performing manual labor can put extra stress on the elbow joint and lead to injury.
3. Age: As people age, the tendons in their arms become less flexible and more prone to injury.
4. Genetics: Some people may be genetically predisposed to developing tennis elbow.
5. Injury: A direct blow to the elbow or sudden forceful movement can also cause this condition.
6. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can also increase the risk of developing tennis elbow.

Overall, this condition is caused by repetitive stress on the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle, leading to microtears and inflammation. By identifying the cause of the injury, individuals can take steps to prevent future occurrences and manage their symptoms effectively.

Early Intervention Benefits of Isometric Exercise

Tennis elbow isometric exercises can provide several early intervention health benefits, including:

1. Strengthening: Isometric exercises are static exercises that involve holding a muscle in a contracted position without movement. These exercises can help to strengthen the muscles around the elbow joint, which can improve the overall stability of the joint.
