Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 My wrists ache, my shoulders ache, so do my digits- have been doing a lot - a lot fo typing over the last few weeks and now its taking its toll.Am using the middle finger to use the mouse- any ideas will be very appreciated. I used a very mild blend of Clove oil and bergamot, just got a little flexibility in fingers- anything else I can use? Baby safe is really important because of my 6m old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi, Seems to me as though you have been very busy typing! First and foremost check out that your chair is at the correct height and you are Not slouched over the computer. Stretching out your arms and hands is very important as well. I will try to explain how I work on this problem So bear with me- it is hard with no visuals. You will notice that the muscles in your forearms are looking quite bunched up and are painful to press. If you bend your arm and then place your thumb about an inch below the crease of the forearm., press down hard and hold for 10 seconds. Hurts , but helps release the tense muscles. Then rub the arm briskly with oil, using a figure 8 movement and pressing firmly on the way up the arm – stretching out the muscles. For your shoulders, you will feel a very tight lump right in the middle of the shoulder, get someone to stand behind you and place their elbow in the middle of the lump, then have them lean down as you shrug. This is a really good and quick release. Hope this helps.
