Work in an office or at a computer? You could be at risk of develop repetitive strain injury, which manifests as painful symptoms in the hands, fingers and wrists.
To lower your risk of developing RSI, our Stoke on Trent chiropractor has jotted down some top tips for you to follow:
Your Mouse
- Use keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse to navigate and execute commands.
- Keep your mouse close to avoid reaching and over stretching
Your Keyboard
- Adjust your keyboard’s key repeat rate to avoid mistakes that you then have to go back over and correct.
- Take regular breaks away from your keyboard and make sure you give your fingers plenty of rest.
We hope this advice helps you to enjoy a pain-free 2018!
