Ulnar Nerve Flossing - Amazing Results - Ask Dr. Abelson

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.

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."

Hi, I had a client, rock climbing enthusiast with history of chronic ( 6-7 months), recurrent sensory symptoms along the ulnar nerve distribution without any motor loss. He had seen a chiropractor had few manipulation which did not help. After initial testing neural tension tests were positive with no signs of cervical restrictions. tests for TOS were negative. I prescribed him these exercise to be done twice daily for a week & boom! all his symptoms showed a 100% improvement.Thank you very much

[grahamsanders]

I wish more doctors and rehab specialists took the time to explain how the nerves work! Thank you! Part of the struggle is not knowing what is going on!

The first set of stretches that Sam demonstrated really help me the most.  It's nice to be able to start feeling my little finger again!

Thank you guys!... I was able to sleep without numbness in my last two fingers after almost a year of having the symptoms every night. I really appreciate your video. :)

[briandawkins]

This completely cured some type of elbow pain I was having in my left arm while flexing. I think it was the plate exercise specifically. Thanks a ton!

I’m a college student in my last semester of undergrad and my pain has made taking notes difficult and it’s even been painful to type out texts. after doing 2 minutes of these exercises i’ve found MAJOR relief. i was so scared that this would never go away. thank you so much, sincerely. thank you thank you

[XaiMMalik]

I'm having ulnar nerve entrapment for thee last 3 weeks, and i was quite tensed and even thought that its never gonna go away. But yesterday i found your this video, and did all the exercises for nearly 3-4 times and slept with a belief that i will be OK tomorrow morning and now i'm feeling a 100 times better. No pain at all, and i only feel a bit of numbness in 2 fingers while holding things... Rest is OK 100%, i dont even remember i have UlnarVein Entrapment.
Thanks for the video !

[Middlestepofficial]

I have problems with ulnar nerve on my left arm for almost 5 years. I am 24 years old and recently I hit my arm just in the elbow directly in the nerve...Nasty feeling :/ now I do these exercises and I can proudly announce that they really help, even the first day now I experience a great relief. Thanks to people like doctor Abelson for posting videos like this.

I've been doing tai chi for health, with slow smooth and continuous movements but never realized how much I've been 'flossing' the nerves. Thank you for the video!
