A 60-second wrist reset for long keyboard days

Long keyboard sessions can leave your wrists and forearms feeling just as parked as your shoulders. Try this gentle, no-equipment reset between work blocks.

The 60-second reset

1. Sit tall and let your shoulders drop.
2. Extend one arm forward, palm up, with the elbow soft.
3. With the other hand, gently draw the fingers toward the floor for 10 seconds.
4. Turn the palm down and repeat with a light pull for 10 seconds.
5. Switch sides, then finish with a few slow wrist circles.

Keep the movement easy—this should feel like space, not a deep stretch. If you feel sharp pain or numbness, stop and get advice from a qualified professional.
