Common Symptoms and Causes
Have pain or numbness and tingling in your wrist? Times have changed and we are at home and working at the desk more than ever before. Without taking proper breaks, it can cause increased pressure and tightness in the wrist, which can result in numbness, tingling, pain, and sometimes burning sensations. This is a huge problem for those working from home where there isn’t a traditional separation between home and work.
How do you solve and address these issues? The most important thing is taking breaks throughout the day to prevent overworking and overdoing your wrists. If you find yourself having wrist pain, its best to take a break and start using different stretches and exercises that can loosen up your wrists and provide instant relief.
Stretches for Wrist Pain
Here are some wrist pressure relief exercises:
1 & 2 Wrist Flexor and Extensor Stretch – these will help improve the flexibility of the forearm muscles and decrease the overall pressure on your wrist. These are the key exercises in preventing wrist pain and other symptoms.
3. Wrist Joint Distraction / Decompression – stretching and relaxing the wrist joint will increase the joint space, allow fluid to flow to the common better, decrease wrist pressure, and help it move more smoothly.
