Ulnar Nerve Flossing
In this video, Dr. Brian Damhoff from Elite Performance Institute demonstrates the Ulnar Nerve Floss – a gentle neural mobilization exercise designed to encourage smooth gliding of the ulnar nerve from the neck through the arm into the hand (pinky and ring finger).
🔥 Potential Benefits of Ulnar Nerve Flossing:
- ✅ May help reduce sensations of nerve tension along the ulnar pathway
- ✅ Supports ulnar nerve mobility through surrounding tissues
- ✅ Simple standing or seated movement
- ✅ Takes less than 60 seconds per side
- ✅ Easily adjusted to individual comfort and tolerance
📝 Exercise Details:
Exercise: Ulnar Nerve Floss

✔ Just a comfortable space – no equipment required
📅 When to Use This:
Daily mobility routine, desk breaks, or whenever you notice inner-arm, elbow, or pinky/ring-finger tightness. Perform gently within a pain-free range – a mild stretch or tingle is normal; stop if sharp pain occurs.
