Hand
Splints Pro or Con
When you have hand pain the only other option the doctors love to tell you is
to wear a hand splint.
Nobody likes to
work wearing an uncomfortable, nonconforming hand splint.
You can’t bend your fingers and your writing turns
into chicken scratch.
If you have ever worn a hand splint you know what I am
talking about.
Removing a hand splint is a huge step and I do not
advise you to jump. There are many hand problems that are more complicated than
mine that require a hand splint. The hand is an extremely complicated mechanism
and I would not remove a hand splint without a doctor’s consent.
Stressed:
When you get stressed sitting at your computer, take a
break.
Stretch your body in all different directions to get
your blood flowing.
Sitting for
long stretches your body starts tightening and eventually you will feel pain.
You can do neck, hand and arm stretching exercises
sitting at your computer.
Punching keys on a computer can get out some
aggression but taking a walk around the block, working out at the gym or
swimming will be better for your physical and mental health.
Trick
of The Trade:
Lower your keyboard.
The keyboard should be waist high.
Reaching in an
upward position will stop blood flow and cause pain.
See Diagram in the beginning of the book.
Why Do You Think This Is Important?
Blood flows in a downward motion circulating
throughout your body.
Keeping your mind and body functioning.
The keyboard should be at waist level.
Your hand and arms will rest comfortably on it and be
relaxed.
Place a Love My Hand Pad underneath your keyboard to
cushion your hands and arms.
You will notice the difference immediately.
