I just received a massaging mouse pad today from my family in Texas. They got this for my birthday since they knew that I have a mild case of carpal tunnel. Does anyone else own one similar to this? Does it work well for you? I am just trying it out and it feels pretty good so far and will have to see if it helps my wrist and hand. It is pretty neat with the rollers going up and down my wrist while moving the mouse. I wonder what other kind of devices they will come up with to help with hand and wrist problems or other physical health problems.

It costs $30 and you can find it on this website www.zsolt.us It has been very helpful for me so far, though my condition is not bad so hopefully this will prevent it from getting worse. It feels nice when moving the mouse around as the roller goes up and down your wrist.

Thats pretty neat. I have never heard of that before. I wonder how much it costs. I am on the computer alot, so something like this would really be of use to me. I hope it helps you.

That is a very neat mouse pad. I hadn't ever seen anything quite like before. You'll have to let us know once you use a bit more if you think it helps you at all. Though since I use the laptop for the most part now, that wouldn't really be something that I could use how I use it. lol
But really update us again and let us know. I had seen the gel kind of mouse pads that are suppose to help and all, but never any like yours.

It is a neat mouse pad and will be putting it to use at work and at home. Hopefully it will keep me from having a worse case of carpal tunnel and will keep everyone posted. It probably would not come useful using a laptop unless you hook up a mouse to your laptop.

I would think that if it works great..but I would feel it might make the condition worse..but this is my uneducated opinion..
The best therapy for carpel tunnel is less movement of the wrists and fingers..
People are constantly using their hands for work or typing develop carpel tunnel..

I never have heard about it before at all. But, it sounds like a good thing and maybe I would try it out someday. Thanks for sharing this and enjoy it a lot if you can.

I have never heard of this before. How cool! I have had carpal tunnel surgery in my right hand before, so this sounds like a really good thing. Let us know what you think after you use it for awhile.

That is just too cool!!! My mousepad looks just like that, except where yours has the rollers, I have a gelpad. I bet that feels so good when it rolls on your wrist. You have very thoughtful family! My son works in IT...8 hours a day. I may show this to him!
