Carpal tunnel is an unfortunate condition that effects people all around the world. It occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, which causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the fingers. While there is medication for pain that could effectively help subside any pain caused by this condition, not everyone wants to take medication. There are alternative methods out there, such as yoga poses that can help with this condition. The “Warrior II Pose,” when practiced daily or at least a couple times a week, can lessen the discomfort and pain of carpal tunnel, and offers a variety of other benefits. Here are some of the wonderful benefits of the “Warrior II Pose” (Virabhadrasana):
- Can be therapeutic for carpal tunnel, flat feet, osteoporosis, and sciatica
- Stretches the groin, as well as the chest, lungs, and shoulders
- Strengthens and stretches the ankles and legs
- Stimulates the abdominal organs
- Increases stamina
- Relieves backaches, especially those caused by pregnancy
