Crafts and hobbies such as knitting, sewing or painting often require that you perform a number of repetitive movements often in awkward hand and wrist positions. This can lead to the development of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and tennis or golfers elbow. Preventing a repetitive injury is definitely better than cure. Maintaining a neutral wrist position and avoiding twisting and bending movements is the optimum way to prevent the development of a repetitive strain injury.The key points to remember when trying to prevent a repetitive strain injury are:

  • Keep the wrist and forearm in a neutral position.
  • Take regular breaks from an activity.
  • Modify a task to avoid repetition.
  • Naturally maintaining a healthy diet helps too!
If having spent a considerable amount of time knitting or pursuing your hobby it is quite likely that your wrist, forearm, elbow neck or shoulders may feel sore. You may have the feeling of numbness and a loss of sensation in the fingers and you should avoid placing further strain on your body. If this problem persists you should consult with your doctor.
