Bye bye tech stress

The table wave

-

Harvard researcher­s report that by moving your wrist from side to side, you can literally “wave away” uncomforta­ble hand and wrist stiffness triggered by repetitive activities like knitting or planting flowers. Why it works: Flexing the wrist while keeping your arm stationary acts like a pump that lubricates tendons in the hands responsibl­e for discomfort, reducing pain in as little as 60 seconds. To do: Rest your forearm on a table with your wrist hanging over the edge and your thumb pointed upward. Keeping your arm on the table, move only your hand straight up and down 10 times, repeating once an hour when you’re feeling sore.
