Using Glides with portables

willy why you using them cheap wands from Vietnam?

Willy I have never been over 6`before or over 220 lbs. But I am in fairly good shape.

Just My opinion

John, my point was:

What causes repetitive stress injury?

Repetitive stress injury is caused when too much stress is placed on a joint as a result of the same action being performed over and over.
Specific kinds of repetitive stress injury are caused by certain actions:

Bicipital tendinitis is often caused by using the arm to make repeated scrubbing motions.

Tennis elbow is caused by repeatedly bending the wrist backwards with force, such as when playing tennis or painting with a brush.

Golfer's elbow is caused by repeatedly bending the wrist forward with force, such as when pulling ropes or golfing.

DeQuervain's tendosynovitis is caused by repeated pinching or twisting of the wrist.

Housemaid's knee is caused by kneeling or leaning forward for a long period of time, such as when scrubbing the floor.

Some forms of tendinitis and bursitis may also be caused by diseases such as rheumatoid (pronounced room-a-toid) arthritis, gout, psoriatic (pronounced sore-ee-at-ick) arthritis, Reiter's (pronounced rlt-urz) syndrome, thyroid disease and diabetes.

Protect your joints:

Be kind to your body. After doing heavy work, or doing the same task over and over, stop. Slow down by doing an easy task, or by taking a rest.

If you are doing a task for work or a hobby that may have caused your repetitive stress injury, change how you do that task. Find different tools that can make the task easier.(Glides)

Use your back, arms and legs in safe ways to avoid putting stress on joints. For example, carry a heavy load close to your body.

Use helpful devices such as a cart to carry your grocery bags, or an enlarged handle that fits over a knife handle so you can hold it easily. A cart will help you to walk more safely. A grab bar, which attaches to a shower, will help you to get in and out of the tub more easily.

OR A GLIDE FOR A WAND AS TEFLON SLIDES WAY EASIER THAN METAL.

Consider getting a splint to hold your joint in a comfortable position at night. A splint can help decrease pain, swelling and stiffness.
