Handy Advice

April 2, 2009

If you spend a considerable amount of time working on a computer every day, you may have experienced carpal tunnel syndrome to some degree. I found myself wearing a wrist brace a few years back while battling this painful condition. If you or someone you know is experiencing pain, you may want to check out this short video from percussionist David Kuckhermann in which he shares some simple exercises he uses to avoid the pain.

If that is not enough, check out these tips from software engineer Dan Hersam.  The cubicle can be a dangerous place.  Stretch, use proper equipment, and go easy on the Mountain Dew.  If these stretches are the most exercise you get in a given day, at least you will still be able to text.  Thanks to Lifehacker for the tips.
