A member asked:
How can someone with carpal tunnel lift weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep wrist straight: Try to avoid any lifting with the wrist in flexion or extension...basically need to keep the wrist in neutral position. Any flexing or extending of the wrist increases the pressure on the nerve in the carpal canal
