Repetitive motion is one of the main factors in developing carpal tunnel, but that doesn't mean that everyone who works with their hands extensively will develop the condition. In fact, there are quite a few things that you can do to assist in avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome. For example, using an ergonomically designed keyboard and writing station can assist in reducing the chances of developing the condition for those spending a lot of time on the computer for work.You will also need to be able to identify the early symptoms of carpal tunnel. The main symptoms include tingling and numbness of the hands.

To avoid damage that occurs from repetitive motion, such as typing, you will need to begin taking breaks on a regular hourly basis. Stretch your arms out, then allow them to dangle by your sides.
