People are spending more and more time in front of their computers and one of the consequences is the fact that lots of them develop computer related illnesses, like Repetitive Stress Injuries. They are usually caused by the excessive and prolonged use of the computer mouse, I mean of an improper computer mouse .



When you keep your hand on a regular mouse and use it for many hours, usually your wrist gets to stay on the desk edge or on the keyboard edge and supports all the pressure caused by the entire hand and arm weight and this can cause serious injuries. They result in wrist strain and strangulation of the blood vessels and also sore tendons. Well, apart from using an ergonomic mouse and mouse pad, you can also do something to ease the pain and relax the muscles and tendons that really hurt.

For example if you use a cold compress , this can help reduce swelling that may occur in the affected hands or wrists or even fingers, while a heated compress surely helps to increase blood circulation and relieve the tension in your hands. Somebody thought of this and had a brilliant idea: to produce Allsop heat therapy mouse pad.

Actually this mouse pad uses both heat and cold therapy, but it is completely up to you to choose which one to use. Basically this is a normal looking mouse pad, with a detachable wrist rest. In fact the package in which the Allsop heat therapy mouse pad is delivered contains two wrist rests that you can use.

The mouse pad and the wrist rest are covered with a very resistant cloth that can support both very high and very low temperatures without being damaged. So does the gel contained in the wrist rests. So you can place one wrist rest in the freezer and one in the microwave oven and when you take them out one of them will be hot and one really cold.

Thanks to the gel in the wrist rests, they will keep their temperature for a long time. So , if you are in pain, use the heated one and if you have swollen hands and wrists use the frozen one. Or, if you suffer from both, just alternate them until you feel better. Isn't it amazing? It is as simple as using a bag of ice on your forehead when you got hit in the head - it really works and it is the most simple measure you can take.

This mouse pad also encourages the ergonomic wrist posture. The gel wrist rests can be easily removed by zipping them in or out. The back of this interesting mouse pad is covered with rubber in order to avoid slipping on the surface of the desk. The mouse pad 's body is made of memory foam that is very comfortable to use when it is not hot or cold, but just the normal temperature. If you are interested in getting one or more of these mouse pads, you can find them for a price between $10.78 and $25.95. You can find a price comparison here.
