Home Treatment for Repetitive Stress Injury

Computer users aren’t the only ones who get Repetitive stress injuries. Many people who do crafts and tasks with their hands, such as knitters, crocheters, or other creative people, tend to get repetitive injuries too.

But you don’t have to give up your after-computer hobbies just because they’re also hand-intensive. You just need to give your hands, shoulders, and arms a little TLC and the opportunity to stretch properly.

Yoga is a great tool for easing the tension and getting a little mental serenity as well. So check out this blog entry over at the Crafting in a Green World blog — it’s called “Yoga for Crafters” and these stretches would be helpful for anyone who has repetitive stress problems in their hands and arms. You don’t have to be a blanket-making wizard to benefit from some yoga-stretchy goodness.
