If you never learned touch typing at school or through DIY tutorials and software, don’t fret. This will also allow your arms to move a bit more which will ease tension in your neck and back. Instead, move your entire hand and arm over to the outlier keys keeping your wrist alignments in tact to avoid twisting. This can bring about pain and strain in your wrists, forearms and elbos. Touch typing specifically teaches us to pivot or twist at the wrist to reach keys like Enter, Backspace and Shift. Get Up and Over for Your Outlier Keys.Anything above and beyond that is just wasted effort and energy. Remember you weigh more than the key, so let gravity do it’s thing and ease up.

It frees you from having to look at the keyboard when typing. From this HOME base, each finger is assigned letters and memorizes by feel how to get from letter to letter. It involves a method of muscle memory where each finger is assigned to a HOME ROW (a-s-d-f for the left hand and j-k-l- for the right). Touch typing, or home row typing has been around since the late 1800’s and is the standard method of typing taught in schools today. And this means that with simple changes, you can sidestep and avoid pain altogether. If you understand what type of typer or texter you are, then you can likely pinpoint the potential causes of your aches and pains. So it’s no wonder that so many of us are plagued with unwanted aches and pains associated with the hours and hours of typing, keying and texting on our computers, laptops, iPads and phones. We all know that we are more addicted then ever to our devices.
