Wrist Mobility Exercises for Computer Users

If you spend your days working on a laptop or keyboard, you may be at risk for hand and wrist injuries. One of the most common is carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes pain, tingling and numbness. Carpal tunnel can make it difficult to type, pick up small objects or perform various manual tasks. Other repetitive movements like texting and scrolling can lead to tendonitis or arthritis.

Preventing these debilitating problems before they develop starts with proper posture and ergonomics. Sit up straight with feet on the floor, and make sure your chair and desk are the correct sizes for your body. Try these simple stretches to relieve tension.

  • Open and clench fists, then touch each finger with thumb.
  • Place laced fingers on back of head and stretch elbows backward.
  • Dangle arms to your side and touch shoulders with fingertips.
  • Circle wrists in both directions.

Finally, experts recommend taking breaks every 30 minutes and staying hydrated.
