The jar.
The tool.
The handle.

Rehearsing the real tasks — the ones that hurt in the first place — slowly, then at pace.

Change one thing

Mouse, grip thickness, keyboard angle — change one at a time and give it two weeks before judging.

Pronation and supination

Turning the palm up and down happens in the forearm, not the wrist, and it is loaded in every tool, jar and doorknob.

Strength first, then the desk

Changing the chair and the mouse without building capacity moves the problem. Build the hand, then set up the desk.

How to run it

  1. Rehearse the real task — the jar, the tool, the keyboard, the racket — slowly first, then at pace.
  2. Speed and dexterity last: accuracy first, then quickness.
  3. Set the workstation after the hand is strong, not instead of it.
  4. Keep two grip sets a week for life. Hand strength fades within weeks of stopping.
