  • A couple of exercises to help prevent and/or cure injuries such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Best to consult with a doctor while doing the exercises.
    The first sequence of exercises was shown to me by Dr. Gerd Schnack.

    14 years into the future: This is the only thing that has helped me so far. The relief really comes fast and as an aspiring artist, my hand is curretnly setting me into panic-mode on a frequent basis. Oh well.
    Gonna try doing the exercise on a regular basis from now on! c:

I've never had this in my life so i didn't know there was another way, God bless you man.
