Excersises I DO

>I knOw so many people that have gotten joint problems frOm the amount of time they spend doing manual jobs, like typing. >I have started tO dO sOme excercises fOr my wrists> >Here are twO Of them> >I find the first One really useful>

EXTEND YOUR FOREARMS parallel to the floor, palms facing down, and make fists with both hands. Now flex your wrists downward while keeping the fist. Hold for five.

GENTLY AND SLOWLY PULL EACH FINGER in succession for a few seconds. A loud popping noise is OK-this exercise (unlike cracking your knuckles) won't cause arthritis but warm up your hands with the previous stretches first. A few repetitions of each, done several times a day, should keep your carpal tunnels computer-fit for pages to come.
