Protect Your Wrists from the Daily Stress of Typing

If you’re typing and clicking on the computer regularly, using an ergonomic wrist rest isn’t a bad idea. 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is associated with a variety of medical and physical conditions, such as hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as certain genetic and environmental risk factors, including significant mental stress and smoking.  

When susceptible people are subject to repetitive hand or wrist work, the risk for CTS can become significant, according to a study from the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Moreover, an ergonomic wrist cushion brings comfort to an activity that the majority of us spend a significant amount of time doing .  The pads keep your muscles relaxed, and cushion your wrists and forearms as you type. 

Featuring ergoBeads, which massage and support wrists, and made from 100 percent post-consumer content, the Keyboard Wrist Cushion, Wrist Cushion and Le Petit Cushion Wrist Rest, supplied through EcoGreenOffice, are designed by an orthopedic surgeon to help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.  Also, they are cool, comfortable and washable and available in a range of colors. 

This ergonomic petit-sized wrist cushion is perfect for on the go, or for a laptop.  Supplied through EcoGreenOffice, it's made from 100 percent post-consumer content.
