How to do it:

  • Sit tall in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your posture upright.

  • Let one arm rest by your side, then internally rotate it (turn your thumb inward).

  • Gently extend your arm slightly beside your body.

  • Flex your wrist (bend your hand downward) and softly curl your fingers.

  • To “floss” the nerve, slowly tilt your head away from the working arm as you extend the arm position.

  • Return your head to neutral as you ease the arm back to the starting position.

Why it’s effective:

Performing this exercise seated provides more control and stability, allowing for gentle, precise nerve movement. This helps reduce nerve sensitivity and improves how the nerve moves through surrounding tissues.

Common benefits:

Improves nerve mobility, reduces tingling or discomfort in the arm and hand, supports better posture and upper body movement, enhances coordination between neck and arm, and aids in recovery from nerve-related irritation.
