Although doctors say that mouse and computer use is not a severe occupational hazard for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, my hand cramps up somethin' fierce after working all day. To fight those cramps, discomfort, and hand boredom in general, do these quick hand exercises from eHand for mousing relief!
Sit or stand while doing the following exercises, and hold all stretches for a count of five!
- Extend your hands.
- Stretch both your wrists and fingers like you're doing a handstand.
- Then, straighten your wrists and relax your fingers.
- Make tight fists with both hands and bend them downward.
- Straighten both your wrists and relax your fingers.
- If you can stand up, shake out your arms and hands.
- Remouse!

What a coincidence, my hands are in pain right now after a day of work!
Those are good stretches, I just did them.
1Me too. I've been wearing a wrist brace most of the day. Some days your hands just don't want to work. Great post!
2I'm getting a new mouse due to elbow pain despite arm support. I guess it's the grip action of mousing that gets ya. Check out the Air0bic mouse....weird and you hate it for a week and then it's love.
3thanks for the reminder - i always forget to do exercises. i'll need to do more of these before the day is through, as I have a term paper to do for tomorrow.
4These are great...thanks!
5Wow, those really work. I was skeptical but did it and my wrists feel great. When I shook them out they both popped, lol.
6Thanks for this. I just did them and my hand and arms feel much better.
7thanks. At 20, I already get pains in my wrist and fingers.
8Thanks Geeksugar I'm going to really need these. I type really hard and fast too and I can feel my wrists hurting already and I'm only 19 years old.
