If your work requires you to do the same things with your hands all throughout the day everyday, you have to take extra precautionary measures. For example, if you are typing away on a keyboard for the full 8 hours everyday of your life, try to exercise your hands and your wrists every hour for 3 to 5 minutes. This way, you will release the pressure and tension from your hands and wrists and you will prevent the nerves on your carpal tunnel from being damaged. Your carpal tunnel is located right between your pointing finger and your thumb. However, you can try to find the right carpal tunnel exercises on the Net especially when you already have carpal tunnel syndrome.
