Down with tunnel syndrome

I seem to be lucky. I'm on a short leg with products from the world of IT proma commercials from the late 80s and the early 90s or so. From the very first (appeared in our area, of course) the famous Spectrum (PC "Santaka" - a thing!). It happened to go through all the development of megahertz, megabytes and inches. From EC1841 via x386 and 5x86 to today's happy world of multi-core processors and LCD displays. Accordingly, you can imagine with what variety of input devices I had to “work”. Actually, both clumsy domestic “clavs” and coordinate mouse-type graphic manipulators, as well as ultra-slim super-duper ergonomic keyboards and touchpads should have left their contribution to the development of tunnel syndrome on my wrists. But, again, I'm lucky. Ugh, ugh.


But the unlucky, prone to this kind of disease and just paranoid can be useful special massage thing called Arm Carpel Massager. Simple as an ax, the "massage" for the wrist consists of a roller attached to even a somewhat dumb-looking body. To get the desired effect hand should be inserted into the device. Well, massage, apparently. The pleasure is not free. Arm Carpel Massager costs $ 50.

That's interesting, among habrachelekov there are doctors. Tell me, does such a “device” really help to stretch the tender hands tired of solitaire? Or is it just another semi-therapeutic fake with an incredibly high cost? Isn't it easier to save “a couple of marks” and just from time to time to be distracted from the computer and do exercises in the style of “we wrote, we wrote, our fingers are tired”?
