Whether you’re typing on a laptop or mobile, playing the guitar, or using a hand drill, try to set a time to relax for 15 minutes. When it goes off, stop what you’re typing and wiggle your fingers. During this time, stretch your hands and move your wrists to improve the blood flow of the hands.

Focus on Lighten up! If you are busy forcing tasks such as writing, typing, or using a cash register, you should relax your grip or reduce your hand force. Our doctors suggest using a soft-grip pen or tapping keys more lightly. Moreover, keeping your hands warm can help with hand pain and stiffness. You should wear fingerless gloves or keep hand warmers nearby.
