5 Ways to Avoid Repetitive Strain Injury
4. Exercise Regularly
Do small wrist flexing and rolling exercises along with regular back and hand stretching to avoid strain. Consult your doctor for the same. Such small exercises will prevent the muscles from getting jammed or numb, and will save you from RSI.
5. Buy The Right Gadgets
It is essential for you to buy the right kind of gadgets and equipment that are easy to hold, grip and operate. There are some laptops with unusually tiny keys, or some writing instruments or styluses that are difficult to hold and can cause pain on your hands and fingers. Avoid going for such things, however indispensable they may seem, and look for better alternatives instead.
The problem these days is that most people have turned into workaholics or gadget freaks, with constant exposure to phones, tablets, computers etc. Not many people realize that such a lifestyle may speed up their work, but will also have effects on their health. RSI unfortunately is one thing that most people think they can’t be affected by, yet a majority of computer users suffer from it. It’s time that people wake up to its side effects and prevent it from happening.
