Common complaints in arms and hands
Pain or tension in the arms and hands is common in people who work a lot with their hands or make the same movements for long periods of time, such as typing, using a mouse, pinching, or lifting. You may experience: - Pain in the forearm or elbow (such as tennis elbow or mouse arm) - Stiffness in the wrist or hand - Tingling or tiredness in the fingers - Loss of strength in the hand or forearm - Pain radiating from the shoulder or neck to the arm These complaints are often the result of trigger points in the forearm, upper arm, or shoulder muscles.
What are trigger points?
Trigger points are small, painful muscle knots caused by overuse, tension, or poor posture. They often feel like a tender spot or hardening in the muscle.
They can cause pain in other places (radiating pain)
You can treat them with pressure, which relaxes the muscle and reduces pain
The Sylo pen is ideal for finding and tackling these points yourself
🎯 Examples of arm and hand complaints:
A trigger point in the upper forearm muscle (extensor carpi radialis) can cause wrist complaints or numbness in the hand.
🖊️ What does the Sylo pen do?
The Sylo pen allows you to apply targeted pressure to trigger points in your arms and hands . This helps to:
To reduce tension in overworked muscles
Relieve local and radiating pain
To counteract fatigue and loss of strength
To support recovery from repetitive strain
🔍 Where do you use the Sylo pen?
Forearm (upper and lower side): for mouse arm, overuse or wrist complaints
Upper arm (biceps/triceps): for pain or loss of strength
Palm or thumb region: in case of cramp or overload
Shoulder or neck muscles: as a source of radiating pain to the arm
💡 Use light to moderate pressure, and hold the spot for 30–60 seconds.
Move your fingers or wrist during the treatment to enhance the effect.
📍 Please note when using:
Avoid pressure on bones or nerve pathways (such as the elbow crease)
Work on soft muscle areas and do not use too much pressure
In case of tingling or numbness: use light pressure first and test the effect
✅ In summary:
✅ Reduces pain in forearms, wrists and hands
✅ Relieves complaints caused by overuse (mouse arm, tennis elbow)
✅ Suitable for self-treatment at home or at work
✅ Easy and direct to apply without additional tools
