What is mouse arm?

For example, mouse arm can arise from repetitive movements such as computer work, where you work with the mouse and keyboard and make repetitive movements over a long period of time. With repetitive movements, you overload the musculature and a pinching of a nerve or an inflammatory condition in a tendon attachment can occur.

Why do you get mouse arm?

The condition can come from many different things. What is pervasive for mouse arm is that you make repetitive movements. It can be beneficial to change your sitting positions so that your arm and fingers are used at different angles. To prevent mouse arm, you can have different mice that you switch between to precisely alternate in sitting positions. See below what ergonomic steps you can take to improve your overall posture.

Why do you get mouse arms?

Our bodies are designed for dynamic movement, in which muscles contract and relax again. This happens naturally when we do physical work, which promotes blood circulation and helps to excrete waste products, as well as supply muscles and cells with fresh oxygen. However, in modern times, many of us spend a long time in front of computers or in sedentary work. This can lead to a day of minimal dynamic movement, limiting oxygen supply and waste excretion in the muscles.

If this situation continues over a long period of time, it can result in inflammation conditions in the tendon adhesions, pinching of nerves, myoses, or generally tense muscles. Especially for those who work at a computer for long periods of time, the risk of developing mouse arm is significant. Mouse arm is a broad term that can include pain in the shoulder, neck, arm and wrist

Massage therapy helps to loosen the musculature and improves blood supply to the muscles, which contributes to the removal of waste substances.

Opt for in-depth massage

Physiurgic massage is the most recognized form of massage and the one most people know as ordinary massage. Physiurgic massage is an in-depth treatment in which, with pressure and strokes, we descend into the musculature and effectively relieve aches and pains. It's a form of massage where we grab to get down the musculature and loosen up your mouse arm. No matter which treatment you choose, we will always talk to you to find the treatment that suits you best, so that we can do something about your mouse arm, depending on whether it is a shoulder, neck, elbow, or wrist pain.
