Just read a study that said 40% of barbers have some form of hand or wrist pain from repetitive strain

Found it in a trade magazine article about ergonomics and it made me finally order that new adjustable chair I've been putting off, what's the best stretch you guys do to prevent this?

My buddy's barber had to take three months off for carpal tunnel.

Totally feel that. I do these simple wrist circles before every client now and it's a game changer.

Honestly, that's such a smart move. It's wild how such a tiny habit can prevent so much trouble later on. My old massage therapist swore by that exact thing, said it saved her career. Makes you wonder what other little fixes we're all missing.
