How to do it:

  • Sit or stand tall with shoulders relaxed.

  • Extend your arm out to the side or forward with the palm facing up.

  • Slowly bend your wrist and fingers back while gently tilting your head away from the arm.

  • Return to the starting position in a smooth, controlled “flossing” motion.

  • Repeat 10–15 repetitions on each arm, staying within a pain-free range.

Why it’s effective:

Median nerve flossing improves neural mobility and helps reduce tension along the nerve pathway. It can relieve mild nerve-related discomfort, enhance wrist and finger flexibility, and support healthy upper limb function.

Common benefits:

Improves median nerve mobility, reduces tension in the arm, wrist, and hand, enhances wrist and finger flexibility, may relieve mild tingling or numbness in the forearm or hand and supports healthy upper limb posture and function.
