How to Prevent and Treat Writing Cramps: 5 Easy Exercises for Writers

In this video, I'm going to show you some exercises to prevent writing cramps. You know, those annoying spasms, stiffness, pain and twitches that make your hand look like it's possessed by a demon when you're trying to write something. Yeah, those. They're caused by a condition called focal dystonia, which sounds like a fancy name for a pasta dish, but it's actually a problem with your brain sending wrong signals to your muscles. It can happen when you write too much, too hard, or too wrong. But don't worry, I'm here to help you get rid of those pesky cramps with some simple and fun exercises. [EXERCISE 1] The first exercise is called the fist pump. No, not the one you do when you're celebrating something awesome, but the one you do when you're trying to loosen up your hand. All you have to do is clench your fist tightly and then slowly release it with fingers outstretched and giving a gentle stretch. Do this several times and feel pain, cramps and stiffness of your hand melt away. You can also pretend you're holding a microphone and singing your favorite song while doing this exercise. Just don't do it in public or people might think you're crazy. [EXERCISE 2] The second exercise is called the wrist twist. This one is great for improving your wrist mobility and flexibility. Just clench your fist and move your wrist up and down. Then rotate your wrist in inwards and outwards direction. Do this several times and feel the blood flow to your hand. You can also pretend you're waving a magic wand while doing this exercise. Just don't do it near any open flames or sharp objects or you might end up with more than just cramps. [EXERCISE 3] The third exercise is called the thumb touch. This one is good for increasing the range of motion in your thumbs, which helps with activities like picking up your toothbrush, fork and spoon, and pens when you write. Hold your hand out in front of you, with your wrist straight. Gently touch your thumb to each of your four fingertips, one at a time, making the shape of an "O." Do this several times and feel the stretch in your thumb. [EXERCISE 4] The fourth exercise is called the stop sign. This one is useful for relieving the tightness in your fingers and hand. Reach out a hand with your fingers facing up and palm forward. Pretend like you're signaling a stop. Then, use your other hand to gently pull your fingers toward you, bending your hand back. Hold this position for around 15 seconds and then switch hands. Do this several times and feel the relief in your hand. You can also pretend you're stopping traffic or telling someone to talk to the hand while doing this exercise. [EXERCISE 5] The fifth and final exercise is called the prayer pose. This one is good for easing the pain in your wrists and hands. Place your palms together in front of your chest, with your fingers pointing up. Keeping your palms together, lower your hands until you feel a stretch in your wrists. Hold this position for 15 seconds and then repeat several times. Feel the calmness in your wrists and hands. You can also pretend you're praying or meditating while doing this exercise. #writerscramp #dystonia #occupationaltherapy ——————————————————— Disclaimer: This video should not replace the necessity of visiting your doctor or getting your occupational therapy session done.
