Video With Stretches For Guitarists/Carpal Tunnel Courtesy of My Singer

[Jak Angelescu]

Hey guys! Here’s a video my singer did for a friend of ours who’s a guitarist who’s unfortunately been diagnosed with carpal tunnel. I thought I’d share it here. She’s a massage therapist and she does these daily on me and they make a HUGE difference. Enjoy!

Thanks Jak!! This is extremely satisfying to watch, like ASMR lol
I’ve been feeling very good playing guitar since I started yoga too. Here’s one I do often :

Any tips on reducing arm pain, its not bad in my wrists but at the elbow joint I get lots of pain while playing certain riffs, Is this to do with playing or muscles? It mainly occurs when I play the extended intro to du hast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV6x2Ctk6CI

Hey Dan! Can you send us a video of you doing it? This will help us determine if you’re using improper form and she can easily detect certain things. She’ll also need to ask you about other factors that can contribute to that kind of problem. She helped me figure out that downward dog in yoga was contributing to my shoulder pain so I’m sure she can help you! She works in a chiropractor’s office so she’s really well-versed.

I think it is sorted now, my position of the right arm was odd which lead to difficult movement but I have played it quite a few times with minimal to no pain.

If it’s only while playing certain riffs..it could be you’re playing with too much tension. It’s hard sometimes but try to stay looooose

I tend to tense up when I play, that’s my biggest issue. My shoulders end up next to my ears if I’m not paying attention.
