I work on a computer most of the day and I'm starting to see really bad symptoms of RSI. I read online that strengthening the forearm muscles can help a little (among other things) and a few people have recommended the Powerball. Anyone on NSC tried one and would they recommend a purchase, or is it just another gimmick?

Apart from that has a risk assessment been done on your role? Any needs should be highlighted and any help be met by your employer.

I over-exercised my wrist as a teenager. Grew out of it, though.....
