Pain due to gamers elbow can be a frustrating journey.

In short the main reason this happens is due to what we call in the rehab world “creep”.  When are wrists are cocked and loaded (smirk) in an unnatural position for long periods of time it can have some detrimental effects at the elbow joint.

The best way to avoid this is through motion.

If you work at a computer for any length of time you absolutely have to get up and move every so often.  Even if it IS just your wrists and elbows.

Set a timer if you have to.  I like to use the timer app in igoogle.

Every 30 minutes get up, do some stretches and then continue with your work.

Heres a quick vid of some exercises you can do at your desk.  It’s definitely not a complete list but it’s something to get you started.
