Most of you baristas know what it's like to pull hundreds of shots a shift - it's tiring. Lately I've been feeling some numbness in my right (tamp) hand and have tried various ways to correction my posture and movement while dosing and tamping.
Is anyone familiar with carpal tunnel caused by barista-work? Know anyone who has/had it?
What does it take to get carpal tunnel?
Any advice on 'good' repetitive movements that will prevent carpal tunnel?
Thanks all!
