Product Information

Relax your shoulders: Do you ever notice that your shoulders are up around your ears while you’re working? Remind yourself to relax. Muscle tension in the shoulders can radiate down into the arms. Having a desk drawer means the clutter stays inside. It minimizes muscle work required to reach the keyboard and mouse. Get off work (if possible) and rest for a few days. If you can’t take a leave from work, reduce typing time and hours spent on digital devices. In turn, this will give strained muscles and tendons time to sufficiently heal.

The Vivo Desk Armrests can be thought of as a beefed up version of the Pretty See product above, combining a mouse pad, palm cushion, and extended armrest all rolled into one. It is also mountable to either your chair or desk, providing two ways to augment your current workstation. Ice it: Ice can help tame muscle inflammation, and can also stimulate the tissue to encourage healing. Ice as many times as you like as long as it seems to be helping. Chronic exhaustion” is a good term for what’s happening here. We use the muscles and tendons over and over again, tensing them consistently without relaxing them often enough. The result is a repetitive stress injury. We experience inflammation in the muscles, and possibly in the tendons as well (though there is some medical debate about whether tendons actually become inflamed). There may be tiny tears in the fibers of both. What to Do FirstNext, it’s time to make some changes. Keep in mind that if you continue to work the same way, you may end up with a chronic condition that gets steadily worse—eventually causing more pain, tingling, and numbness. Severe cases can interfere with your job or your daily writing goals. Long-sized Version】7.9 x 31.5 inches(20x80cm), compared to the normal size, our upgraded elbow pads are long enough for all keyboards and desktop. After spending 40 days straight sitting at the desk in my home office in a frantic attempt to finish the way-overdue manuscript for my second book, I can tell you that my favorite office supply is no longer a Sharpie or a binder clip, but a soft-yet-supportive gel pad (or, rather, two of them) that has saved me from near-constant, searing elbow pain. To make resting your arms on the Skyzonal more comfortable and to help maintain neutral wrists, you can slope the entire tray up to 10° downwards.

In most cases, the problem occurs because we’re typing with poor form. That’s good news, because it means we can make some adjustments to prevent the injury from happening again. In the beginning, you will experience mild soreness in the affected elbow. It can lead to chronic muscle fatigue, a dull throbbing, or ache. Additionally, your muscles might cramp. It may cause discomfort when you move your arm.Keep your desk clear: Clutter causes you to reach and extend more often. You want a clear space between your keyboard, mouse, and working area to minimize muscle work. Remember that the problem here is “repetitive”—the more you lift, extend, tighten, etc., the more likely you are to suffer pain.

If you need a helping hand supporting your arms in virtually any position possible, a pivoting wrist and elbow pad works better than an armrest. We know what you’re thinking. Working on your computer is not exactly a strenuous activity. You do not moving your arms around as you’d do in tennis or golf. Yet, if you look at the anatomical aspects of the situation, you understand why your elbow hurts. How Does This Happen?My position of work shouldn’t be an issue. I work with both arms fully resting on the desk since i have a large surface. But following your article, i will try to make sure my right elbow is at a 90 degree angle… It was more at a 135 degree. But i think immobility of the whole arm for long period (30 min to 2 hrs) was the culprit! I type, though. A lot. That got me wondering. Is tennis elbow—or “computer elbow”—another painful consequence of the writing life? We like that gel pads are just the right firmness to provide enough support without causing nerve compression. A buyer who has cubital tunnel syndrome mentioned that this helped with the symptoms after just a few uses. Alternate hot and cold: This helps stimulate circulation, and getting increased blood flow to the injury encourages healing. Ice for five to ten minutes, and then rotate with a heating pad or hot water bottle. Moreover, investing in a standing desk setup will save you from medical bills. It’s a practical way to counter the effects of computer elbow and other health issues associated with physical inactivity at work.
