Treating My Own Ulnar Nerve Entrapment
Description
In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I take you inside a case study of ulnar nerve entrapment and hand pain - ME!
These symptoms are something I’ve dealt with in the past, but after doing a lot of hands-on work with clients recently, they flared up again. So I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share my thought process with you of how I would assess and treat this.
I walk you through the history of my symptoms, the classic entrapment sites for the ulnar nerve, and why treating the elbow, wrist, or hand first rarely solves the problem. You’ll see how the real drivers often trace back to the cranium, first rib, and central nervous system, and why addressing those areas made the biggest impact on my mobility and pain.
I also demonstrate practical assessment and treatment strategies you can use right away. From checking carrying angle and pronation to applying simple nerve glides, skin lifts, and manual release strategies.
Whether you’re working with athletes, clients with upper extremity pain, or even your own nagging symptoms, this episode will give you tools and insights to approach ulnar nerve entrapments with a true whole-body lens.
