This content provides simple exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome experienced during pregnancy and postpartum. It suggests starting with ice application to the wrists and hands to reduce swelling. Following this, one exercise involves raising arms and repeatedly making and opening fists for a minute to help flush fluid. Another exercise is rotating the wrists for ten seconds. A third technique involves a wall stretch: placing the arm against a wall with fingers facing backward and the inner elbow facing forward, holding this position for 30 to 60 seconds. These exercises are recommended three times a day, with two repetitions each time, to help alleviate symptoms.
