Helpful And Preventative Stretches For Writers, Artists, And Gamers

Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers 💪🎨✍🎮

If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!

Start with hands up, fingers stretched out.  Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.

Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.

Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times

Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Character who's just been absolutely emotionally shattered by what someone just said. They just kinda freeze, stunned for a moment before a mix of deep anger and deeper sadness kicks in. They shoot back with the best, harshest comeback they can before storming off, seemingly ticked off, but as soon as they're alone, tears start to sting their eyes. They sit on the bed/couch whatever, feeling absolutely defeated and almost kind of shocked, like, "did that really just happen?". It's been a long time since they've felt this alone...

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

Here are my notes on the lower body muscles
