How to Prevent Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome
The earlier you begin to
manage your carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI (repetitive stress
injury) or tendonitis pain, the less damage will occur
to the flexor tendons inside
of your hand and wrist, and the faster healing can
begin.
Even if you
don't think you have carpal tunnel syndrome yet...
it's never too
soon to
begin practicing good wrist
health.
Try a wrist brace
for temporary
relief If your pain is severe, you may wish to
temporarily immobilize your hand
using a wrist brace.
Know that this is a "temporary break" that you're giving
your wrist before starting
the Carpal
Tone System.
Once the healing and strengthening process begins, you will
not need to deal with an awkward wrist brace again in the
future.
Exercise your wrists and hands every
day The
Carpal
Tone System is a
3-step system that provides micro-massage stimulation,
isotonic exercise, and natural supplements that support
the health of joints, cartilage,
and ligaments. You'll notice the
difference in how your wrists feel from the
very first
time you use the Carpal Tone
System.
With consistent
proper use of the Carpal Tone
System, you'll find
that your wrists and hands
are stronger, and that your pain
and inflammation
have virtually
disappeared!
Go
Ergonomic
Ergonomic keyboards are specially designed to
position your hands so that there
is less stress on the wrist area during typing. You may
not be comfortable with the
strange positioning of the keys at first...
but like anything
else, the more you use
your ergonomic keyboard, the more familiar it will
become.
Try
a wrist
warm-up Warm up your wrist prior to extensive computer use
or other activity which puts strain
on your wrist joint, tendons and ligaments.
We recommend
the
Carpal Tone
Iso
for
this purpose. Use it
for just a few minutes to get the
blood circulating and the
wrist muscles moving.
Wrists in the "neutral"
position Position your wrists so as to avoid wrist stress
and strain. Your keyboard should be
flat to the table or slanted upward so that wrists are
supported and not "hunched" over
the keys as you type. Ideally, if your arm and
wrist are parallel to the
ground, then your hand should be at a 45 or 90-degree angle
higher than your arm - NEVER lower!
There
are special gel keyboard pads and "mouse pad wrist rests"
available for this purpose.
Rest your
wrists Take frequent breaks during computer use and
typing sessions - relax, flex and
stretch your wrists and fingers for a bit.
Get up and walk around to keep your
blood circulating. Massage is great for tired, strained
wrists. We recommend
using the
Carpal Tone with Micro
Massage for just a few minutes
each day.
Give yoga a
try Yoga builds strength,
relieves stress, promotes balance and flexibility, gets the
blood
and oxygen circulating and helps the body to heal itself
naturally. There are many yoga positions which strengthen
the hands, wrists and arms. When you build muscle,
you
put less stress on the tendons and joints - this is great for
the entire body.
Supplement your
diet There are many natural
supplements on the market today that provide
joint support
and improve the overall functioning of your immune system.
Carpal Tone
Essentials
contains EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) that help
reduce inflammation and improve joint health and
functioning.
