Health Tips
- Take regular breaks. Resting your hands can help avoid overuse problems like carpal tunnel and arthritis.
- Regularly do gentle exercises that safely stretch and strengthen your hands and fingers.
- Use proper ergonomics at work or at home to avoid wrist problems.
- Use physical therapy exercises and stretches that ease arthritis pain, trigger finger, and other conditions.
- Use a supportive brace. This reduces extra movements that can cause and/or aggravate arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other hand problems.
