Working all day at a computer is as
hard on your hands as it is on your back. Doing hand exercises before
starting work and periodically throughout the workday keeps your
hands nimble and will help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
Stretch your left arm out
in front of you, keeping your palms forward and your fingers together
and pointing towards the ceiling. With your right hand, gently pull
your fingers backward towards your body, just until you feel the
stretch in your palm. Repeat this exercise, holding out your right
arm and stretch your fingers with your left hand.
Next, hold both your arms out in front
on you, in the same position, with palms facing outward and your
fingers together, pointing upward. Close your hand into a gentle fist
and open. Splay your fingers as wide as possible, then close and
repeat.
Now you need to work on your thumbs.
Give yourself a “thumbs-up" and slowly rotate your in a
circular motion five time. Switch directions and repeat. Do this with
both hands to keep your thumbs as limber as your fingers.
While stretching and exercising your
fingers is an important part of preventing carpal tunnel syndrome, so
is an ergonomically friendly workstation.
