Arm pain, arm numbness, & pins and needles in the arm can come from the nerves getting caught between structures along their pathway along the arm. Nerve glides (sometimes called nerve flossing, or nerve sliders) can help to release these nerves. It’s a bit like flossing your nerves. These 3 nerve mobilisation exercises work on the 3 main nerves that run down your arm. They’re quick & simple physical therapy exercises that can give rapid relief from arm nerve pain.

Median nerve gliding can help to relieve compressive neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome, pronator syndrome, or lacertus fibrosus syndrome. An Ulnar nerve floss can help other types of peripheral neuropathies like cubital tunnel syndrome and ulnar tunnel syndrome. And a radial nerve floss can help Wartenbergs syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome, or posterior interosseous nerve syndrome.
