Recommendations for Pain & Numbness of the Hands

To Load Bags / Use Weights Exercising: When we carry heavy objects it is common to make the mistake that the wrist is bent inwards, that is to say that it is in the direction of or trying to touch the body. It should be straight, or in line with your elbow and shoulder to avoid pain.
To Hold a Purse: It is recommended to put the arm so that the purse hangs from the arm at the elbow flexure. This way you can protect your hand and wrist from overuse that can cause pain and numbness.

To Hold Babies / Children: In general, when we lift a minor we tend to press our hands into their body without realizing it, we must redirect this force to the arms so as not to put too much unnecessary stress on the hands and wrist and avoid damage.
Cell Phone Use: Because we use the phone on many occasions where the positions vary greatly, there are endless variations that could be damaging your hand and / or wrist. This is why we recommend using the cell phone while it is on a flat surface at all times, without holding it with one hand.
