Does this come with something showing various exercises to do and is it beneficial for carpal tunnel?

The very first benefit they mention is for carpal tunnel. That was the reason I bought these balls. There is a paper that gives good instructions and shows pictures also. I don't know if this is what helped my carpal tunnel but I haven't had it since using these and I haven't used them in a couple of months?

Yes, it does come with an Exercise/User Guide. It gives you some of the exercises you can do with the bands, but there more on their website. I personally wish the guide was broken down into sections like the website (upper body, lower body and core) with a little more info on the muscle groups you will be work for each exercise. I'm sure I will be able to find that info somewhere else when I do a web search.

Yes, a book comes with it that shows all the different exercises you can do.

as far as a workout goes it is very good. but it does have pedals and if all you use it for is arms, it would be nice to modify it yourself with some handle grips instead. My mom use it for her arms as well as legs, its more comfortable for the legs though.

If you have any type of wrist or hand pain or stiffness use this product! I use it for lifting weightsand even doing yardwork. Ive had carpal tunnel for 25 years, this helps a lot!

I have had this divice a few years, you can operate it separately to a degree, the manual is very helpful. I started having numbness, pain, and tingling in my legs after a surgery which seemed unrelated to my legs, however there was some nerve damage, however this gadget is awesome for basic issues to major issues like mine. I don't know how I would make it without it. The foot massage portion is very strong so wear really thick socks if you have problems with your feet like I do with the severe numbness I have. Good luck, I hope you like it as much as I have the last 3 years.

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. I use mine for travel. That said it does provide a little extra cushioning, but not anymore than my Black Mat

Yes it comes with everything you need. It even included a chart of exercises that you could do with it.

No, it comes with a exercise chart that show's different exercises for the different groups. I personally based my exercises off of the chart, i.e. Monday, Wednesday and Friday upper body and Tuesday and Thursday lower body, legs, abdominal, etc:I have free weights, but find this a good way to stretch the muscles, by doing more reps. with lower weights.

It's comfortable depending on how you have it placed. It's not solid rubber it's like a sponge kind of but there is no wrist rest so it possibly won't prevent carpal tunnel. Hope this answered your questions and concerns.

Yes, it comes with everything you need. It's a great little unit. We live in Canada but bought it while we were in Florida, can't wait to start to use it again. We tried to by wrist straps for it but couldn't, but I have since found somewhere here in Canada that sells them for about $20.

It does come with instructions for different exercises. I found that sitting with foot on Rocker, and rocking it forward and backward, was the safest and best stretching exercise for my foot-drop.

No, this brace limits wrist rotation (like turning a doorknob). Carpal tunnel effects wrist up &down; movement. I don't think this brace would be of any benefit in treating or preventing carpal tunnel.

No, but you can pull up arm and leg exercises on the internet. I think you will find it very exercise friendly. The piece in the back of the chair is to keep you setting correctly with good posture. I find this very helpful.

I didn't have diagnosed carpal tunnel but I felt like my symptoms told me I was on my way. This is why I got this mouse. So, yes, this mouse helped me find relief with the pain I was experiencing in my wrist. For me, as much as I tried to get my desk ergonomically adjusted, my wrist still would fatigue. That was because I would put so much weight on my wrist while using a standard mouse. This mouse moved the placed weight away from my wrist (Distal radio-ulna joint) and towards my forearm (midday down the Ulna bone).Either way, I had a cool office conversation starter. I even made converts of two other coworkers to get the same style of mouse. I didn't have diagnosed carpal tunnel but I felt like my symptoms told me I was on my way. This is why I got this mouse.

I did not get anything like that with mine. Maybe its something to use to strengthen your hand?

Yes, though I only used it to be sure I understood how to install the equipment. The kit also includes very good booklet with instructions for lots of exercises.
