We are sooo attached to our fingers. It's too bad we don't think much about them until they start to hurt. For example, 30 percent of computer users gripe about hand paresthesias - the numbness or stinging sensations.
Still, studies on nerve conduction show that three percent of Americans are found to suffer from the dreaded carpal tunnel syndrome. Something else must be bothering the stressed-out hands of computer users everywhere. Here are some ways to help you stay pain-free and keep your hands and fingers strong: |
1 - Grasp items with your whole hand - instead of using only your thumb and index finger. Your non-stressed wrist will thank you.
2 - Strengthen your hands this way: Hold a large sheet of paper by a corner with your arm outstretched. Ball up the paper using only your fingers. Quickly! Alternate hands; repeat several times. 3 - Or simply squeeze a softball. |
