Question: Do Gloves Help Repetitive Stress Injuries?
I've head that wearing gloves can help alleviate my Repetitive Stress Injury. Is that true?
Answer: Usually gloves can help relieve some of the symptoms of a repetitive stress injury in the hand or wrist. If the injury or symptom is caused by poor circulation loose gloves may improve it. They can help keep your hands and wrists warm which increases blood flow. Tight gloves can actually restrict circulation so keep them loose and comfortable.
If your hands are usually cold or you notice increased discomfort when your hands are cold, gloves might be a good option.
