Wrist and Forearm Stretching

for Repetitive Strain Injury

Regular wrist, forearm, and shoulder stretching throughout the work day reduces muscle tension and maintains tissue flexibility in RSI-prone regions.

How it works

Reduces resting muscle tension in the forearm flexors and extensors that develops during sustained keyboard work. Maintains tendon excursion and reduces the adhesion formation contributing to chronic RSI.

What to watch for

Stretches should be gentle and held for 20–30 seconds — not bouncing. Most effective when integrated into regular micro-breaks throughout the day rather than reserved for end of day.
