I recently aquired a stress ball, I squeeze it regularly and it really does seem to help my wrist pain. I just thought I'd share my new found knowledge, hopefully it may help someone else relieve their wrist pain :)

Oooh, tell me! This sounds like something I want! Is it something made for therapy or just any ol' regular ball like a dog toy or kid toy that would offer the same resistance while squeezing it?

It's just a squeezy ball! Nothing special, I got mine from the local petrol garage. You can usually pick them up from anywhere. Here, take a look:

I actually think I might have one of those somewhere. I know there's also (uh,in some box in the garage) "hand grips" for lack of a better word, now that I think of it. I could never squeeze them the whole way, but maybe the tension can be loosened somehow. I'll have to check. They're generally used for strength training, but it seems to be the same concept as the ball.

Yes I too have one of those "hand grips", but like yourself I don't really use it. In all honesty I originally assumed it would put my strain on my wrists/hands. However after further reading, it is becoming aparent that the strength training could actually help improve the strength of the hand/wrist and thus make them less susceptible to injury.

I'm going to get one soon too. :) I actually came across a bunch a few years ago and thought they look cute but has no practical uses. I'm reconsidering my earlier judgement. :D

Wow, i always thought that they would worsen the affects of RSI rather than aid the strength of your wrists, i had one quite a while ago, might have to find one again.

I used to have one of these a long time ago. When I took piano lessons, they had us squeeze tennis balls to strengthen our fingers. I don't know if that would work for RSI though...might have to break out the tennis balls and give it a try!

Lol, sounds like it could be. Although a tennis ball might be too hard?

1、康宝莱 (http://www.weherba.com/kangbaolai.htm)--大运动量运动: 若运动量加大,人体所需的氧气和营养物质及代谢产物也就相应增加---康宝莱产品 (http://www.weherba.com/kangbaolaichanpin.htm),这就要靠心脏加强收缩力和收缩频率,增加心脏输出血量来运 输。做大运动量时,心脏输出量不能满足机体对氧的需要,使肌体处于缺氧的无氧代谢状态。无氧代谢运动不是动 用脂肪作为主要能量释放,而主要靠分解人体内储存的糖元作为能量释放。因在缺氧环境中,脂肪不仅不能被利用 ,而且还会产生一些不完全氧化的酸性物质,如酮体,降低人体运动耐力。血糖降低是引起饥饿的重要原因,短时 间大强度的运动后,血糖水平降低,人们往往会食欲大增,这对减脂是不利的。 2营养减肥 (http://www.weherba.com/kangbaolaishoushen.htm) 短时间运动: 在进行有氧运动时,首先动用的是人体内储存的糖元来释放能量,在运动30分钟后,便开始由糖元释放能量向脂 肪释放能量转化,大约运动一小时后,运动所需的能量以脂肪供能为主。3、康宝莱减肥 (http://www.weherba.com/kangbaolaishoushen.htm) 快速爆发力运动: 人体肌肉是由许多肌纤维组成,主要可分为两大类:白肌纤维和红肌纤维。在运动时,如进行快速爆发力锻炼时, 得到锻炼的主要是白肌纤维,白肌纤维横断面较粗,因此肌群容易发达粗壮。用此方法减肥会越练越 “粗”。   herbalife (http://www.weherba.com/herbalife.html)总之,想要达到全身减肥的目的,就应做心率每分钟在120-160次的低中强度,长时间(1小时以上)耐力性有氧代谢全身运动。例如,健身操、慢长跑、长距离长时间的 游泳等。
