Long days at a keyboard can leave your wrists sore too, and plenty of people who train hard also spend their working day at a desk. This short section is for anyone who types, uses a mouse or spends hours on a laptop and would like their wrists to feel better at the end of the day.
The three articles work in any order, but I would start with the one on sore wrists from your keyboard, because it covers the set-up and the gear that help most people first. Then read the guide to the best wrist support for typing, which looks at braces alongside the simpler changes that often help more. If you have already bought an ergonomic wrist rest and it is not helping, the third article explains why that happens and what to try instead.
Small changes to how you sit and where your hands rest can add up over a working week, so it is worth trying them one at a time and noticing what makes a difference for you. If the soreness comes with numbness or tingling, or it does not ease after a few weeks of changes, please see a doctor or physiotherapist.
