hand excercises

I think these quick hand excercises are very useful and they help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
1. PULL THE FINGERS on your dominant hand (where the effects of CTS are more likely to be severe) back and away from your palm. Relax your wrist and let it follow your fingers. Hold for five seconds and then repeat with the other hand.
2. GENTLY PULL YOUR THUMB toward your chest and down, hold the stretch for another five seconds, and repeat on the opposite hand.
