- copperx 5y agoA Kinesis keyboard and an ergonomic position can take care of that. Also, some people typing motions are not conductive to carpal tunnel (e.g., those that do not adhere to standard keying position).
- d883kd8 5y agoLifting weights is great for preventing this
- paulcole 5y agoIs there real research on this or is it in proven in the sense of it-has-worked-for-you-so-far?
- raihansaputra 5y agoInterested in this too, both anecdotal studies. I lifted weights, found it helped with energy and posture, but nothing specific to finger joint pains. Wrists are a bit helped (barbell rows/deadlifts/overhead). Maybe grip-specific exercises/stretches fare better for a lot of keyboard/mouse/trackpad usage.
