Wrist Care with a Twist

Wrist Care with a Twist

Does your wrist ache? Do you wonder if it’s caused by computer work?

Well, maybe there's another reason. As nights get colder, we tend to tuck your legs, arms, and hands into our body.

When we sleep with wrists bent and hands curled up under our chin or neck, for example, this hyperextends our wrists. Holding this position for extended periods causes wrists to ache and become stiff.

When you go to sleep tonight, consider how you hold your wrists. Try and keep your wrists straight.

There are many reasons for developing upper body aches and pains, and good ergonomics is no longer enough for our modern, mobile, increasingly complex and sedentary screen-intensive world of work.

It’s time to expand your vision of training to include a multidisciplinary range of ergo and self-care competencies that give you greater personal control of your health, wellbeing and productivity, no matter where you work.

These are new Personal Protective Behaviours (PPBs) for screen-intensive work, like postural mindfulness, diagnostic knowledge, actions to personalise office ergonomics, and physical conditioning exercises to decrease work-related pain, and increasing comfort and productivity.

It feels good to gain greater control over your life and career.
