Marathon typist.
So you’re a marathon typist and you think you get off scott free? Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a painful condition you can incur form regular typing sessions if your wrist is not properly supported. It is not pretty, but is manageable without surgery (if caught early on) if you are aware of the causes and how you can avoid it in the first instance. To make sure you are safe get your workstation checked over by your health and safety official where possible, and look online for other tips. Take regular breaks to stretch and circulate your wrists, and as always, if discomfort persists, see a specialist. To help prevent RSI in the first place try a Vulkan Advanced Elastic Wrist Support. Wear your PINK support with pride!
