    Exercise Hand Gyroscopes for CTS and RSI

    San Francisco Chiropractor and Carpal Tunnel Doctor Comments:

    Powerballhandgyroscope1 I just read about an exercise device called the Powerball on the excellent www.rsi-releif.com website. I have personally used the precursors to this device. In fact...we used to prescribe them at our San Francisco Carpal Tunnel Center for patients with CTS and RSI.

    Here is an excerpt from the article:

    A Powerball is a gyroscopic exercise device produced by RPM Sports. It is a “finely engineered and precision crafted gyro consisting of a rapidly spinning rotor enclosed in a solid [hand held] outer sphere. You set this rotor in motion using a cord or your finger and build its speed by subtle rotation of the wrist. It contains no motor or no batteries. All of the energy comes from the user and the stronger you are, the faster you will be able to make your Powerball spin, and the faster you spin the inner rotor the more inertia it generates and the more resistance it subsequently inflicts upon the fingers, hands, wrists, arms and shoulders.”

    If you have CTS or RSI...and would like to find out if you are a candidate for care at our San Francisco Financial District Back and Wrist Pain Center...please call 415-392-2225 and ask for a complimentary CTS evaluation...or register for one of our Free Carpal Tunnel Lunchtime Seminars.
