[@spencerb4496]

why does this guy not have the nobel peace prize yet

[@Bragosso]

More like, Nobel prize of Medicine? One can only hope.

[@Motoko1134]

Probably because he doesn't kiss the ass of the right people.

[@InsaneChef]

this video should have millions of views cause every gamer should see this

[@PotatoFieldHD99]

Doctors be like... games will hurt you.. blah blah blah.. and here we have Dr. Levi encourage you to play games while you do exerciser.. Is this real life ? GG Dr.Levi and Thanks for the exercises !! a doctor which understand us !!! Regards, The Gaming Community

[@genhen]

well it isn't the games that hurt you. It is the lack of movement and the keeping-your-fingers-in-the-same-position parts of it

[@noirad6484]

i think its not he tell use to play them but more hey your going to play games so you might as well do these things to stay as healthy as possible or it might be both

[@eroswijaya1120]

Noirad Smith You might consider putting some comas there, its pretty confusing to read. lmao

[@terbentur2943]

He's smart enough to understand that telling us how bad it is is the completely wrong angel. Instead he communicates in a positiv way.

[@Thatpastaiscold]

Dr. Harrison, You're ripped.

[@ScogginsWB]

Hes not gaming enough :3

[@svenyproud]

I did ALL the exercises from this video and part 1 and my hands feel SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. thanks man Ill do this EVERY DAY for now on :)

[@dumplingking494]

I literally sometimes don't even have pain but I just watch his videos it's like watching bob Ross it's so relaxing

[@jonathanzimm5511]

Please comment if I messed up.

[@raulrodreiguez5794]

Thanks Dr. Levi! I followed through this video and could immediately feel the benefits. Thank you for looking out for the gaming community and keep up the good work!

[@iGreen_]

These are so helpful. I got a grade 3 SL tear in my wrist and I've been waiting 2.5 years for surgery bc of the pandemic. These aren't too hard and I can pull pack if it's getting sore but it still gives me a good stretch and gets some blood flowing and loosens me up reducing my pain. I like to play games but I also work an administrative job 8 hrs a day on the computer too. These are really perfect for me. I hope I can get surgery soon and get back close to normal when I was gaming and playing basketball and other sports.

[@siknoz]

Thank you Dr Levi! I've actually wondered about hand health being a gamer and I followed along with the exercises as you explained and I could feel a little pain in my right hand that I didn't in my left but felt good to stretch them properly like that. I've seen hand exercises but most I don't think are aimed towards gamers (most require use of a stress ball) so I am very grateful to you for this. Please keep these coming!

[@soulswordobrigadosegostar]

this dude right here saving speedrunners lives rn

[@jasonleanos1305]

Thank Dr. Levi! I'm not a gamer, however, I am constantly working with keyboard, mouse, touchpad, etc. and experience the same pain and discomfort. These exercises have helped immensely. Thanks Again!

[@reasonforge9997]

Not just for gamers....my forearm has been killing me from mouse/keyboard use on work projects and weekend projects. This is a God send. Thank you.

[@strivehigher3863]

Reddit with the doctor hookup

[@seannolan3927]

Dr. Levi, you do so many specific game for the wrists, and I know you have some thumb specific Stretches. But I'd love to see some more Melee targeted stretches. A video on Complete thumb rehabilitation, and damage prevention. A lot of us here in the Super Smash Brothers Melee Community love you and would love to hear some dank Doctor Thumb Exploding work outs.

[@rebornhd3767]

It's been a while since you've asked, but noticed another video of his explaining some thumb exercises and I thought I'd share it with you just in case kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5q1dGtme6-Vfrc

[@lalaldka]

not just meele, all the smash games do that to me

[@MoldyBreadWorld]

Oh my gosh, this second part REALLY helped the tenseness in my wrist. Thank you, Dr.Levi! Hopefully my tendonitis heals without too much issue. :)

[@hergexdo]

Dr. Levi you're the real MVP

[@scooter9537]

Thanks reddit

[@nicholasng21]

I wish i would have discovered this guy a lot sooner. Solid exercises with good results. Keep it up man!!!

[@chickendoodles3566]

I use and strain my hands a lot between work and gaming, and these exercise really helped. Thanks!

[@emersonmena5106]

You deserve more recognition, views, subscribers for what you do. Thank you for molding the future of Esports worldwide especially with this Quarantine Downtime. Thank you for helping us

[@halcyon8289]

hopefully i can fc big black with this technique

[@camologan]

This guy's cool. His stretches help a bunch

[@MrStrikemasterice]

He's such a GEM. He also understands the mentality of most gamers

[@its_wasu]

Thank you so much! I suffer from problems with my arm and doctors around me have no clue how to help me. They all just say that I need to reduce my PC time. And it makes sense: My hand is perfectly healthy when I'm way less at the computer. But I want to enjoy my life with playing games! It's too much fun! So I'm glad you're giving us tips for how to keep being able to game but also being healthy. Thank you so so so so much! I will try these exercises everyday and look how it will make me feel. The first session now made me feel better instantly :)

[@josephfreems]

You are a god send. I literally have been in such pain recently in my wrist cause of extended gaming hours due to corona virus and I did 30 minutes of exercises and I feel like a new man!! Thank you so much!!!

[@5t0rm2]

Thank you!

[@brenomacedo6134]

Great exercises, I've been doing them for 4 months, they were just amazing for my hands. Of course I didn't do the exercises that used to make me feel pain, but after some time I could do all of them without problem very often. Game on!!

[@etforde]

This fixed my wrist problems. After extended periods of gaming or office work (several days/weeks) the pain might come back, but a couple of days with these exercises (4-5 times per day) and I'm good for many weeks/months.

[@Pheonix19581]

Hello, I play osu mania and a while before I started I got an injury in my left pinkie that required a steroid injection, because of that I decided I need to take my hand health seriously and I greatly appreciate your guides, they're extremely user friendly and I really appreciate what you are doing! I really appreciate how calm, patient, and concise your commentary is, it is extremely helpful to have a clear slow guide to follow, because I easily get overwhelmed.

[@MegaLoiner]

Wow that second set is so simple but really helpful, cheers!

[@bensoontm5244]

Thank you mister Levi!

[@mc_sea]

These videos are really informative. They have simple instructions that anybody can follow and will probably help in making me have better health. Thanks Dr. Harrison! :D

[@vinny6935]

This is great, thank you for doing this! I'm a programmer, and sometimes during a schedule crunch I'll be typing for 10-12 hours straight. I take breaks of course, but these stretches help a lot. Thanks again!

[@ronniemillsap]

Hello Dr Levi, I play quake champions/Afps, and these exercises really helped me to stretch out very tight muscles. thanks!

[@XnecromungerX]

awesome thanks, going to have a go at this

[@MidgardianHobbit]

Stumbled on your videos as I was googling what to do for my hands because they were in immense pain. Thank you✨✨✨

[@DaGreenSift]

These are great. Just did them after a 3 hour grind on osu and my hands for once didn't feel like shriveling up into a ball afterwards.

[@arenaz]

Thank you Doctor, this is really helping my wirst pain!

[@jd7866]

Bruno Arenas how is your wrist pain going because mine just started

[@HeyMyNameIsLukas]

My forearms were killing me for the last week's. Did my first set of part 1 and 2 and it feels great. I'll keep doing them and provide an update in a few weeks

[@dazuru6407]

It’s been a couple years but you still wanna give an update?

[@HeyMyNameIsLukas]

@@dazuru6407 The stretches have helped me relieve some pain in my forearms and allowed me to game again on PC. Another thing that helped a lot was learning about TMS. It basically means I've been fooling myself into experiencing the pain. I know it sounds crazy, cause that's what I thought at first, but it has helped me the most. I've been doing long gaming sessions again that I could only dream of before. Best of luck!

[@XxuplmxX]

These stretches feel so good

[@roofvoelcom]

Great work Dr Levi. Good exercises not only for gamers but for everyone spending alot of time at the computer. I'm a videographer and I try to take a break every hour when editing videos. You`ve helped me alot, thank you!

[@RE4uk]

This guy's on point.

[@BestFoodAndTravelVideos]

Dr Levi YOU ARE ARE MY PERSONAL PHYSIO WITHOUT YOU I CANNOT BE A GOOD BADMINTON PLAYER

[@rubengallego3176]

1:24 Love you doc

[@nicoferraro5266]

You are amazing Dr. Levi, thanks for the teachings, greetings from Argentina.

[@krosmo]

Thank you Dr Levi

[@Raw_Z]

i wasnt expecting boosting my skill so much by doing this

[@jarroyomaranata]

Does these excercises work for weightlifters too? I have sharp pain on my wrists, they hurt even with a handshake and I have difficulty lifting objects.

[@Leah-fs7qq]

Omg this hurt so good. I backed off & eased into it. Feels better already. Thx

[@anammorar]

Thanks! Useful for drawing, as well

[@jonlucas22]

this is awesome thank you Dr. Levi

[@Ewanuk]

"The Gator" really showed how weak my right forearm was (mousing arm). After 2 sets of ten my right arm was on fire, while my left was fine.

[@BIGHOSS003]

Thx doc I have been gaming for a while and this really helps

[@jasonanderson872]

These are great! Could these exercises work for both keyboard/mouse and controller users

[@ThunderbolttheFox]

I've started to have some wrist pain on the underside of my mouse hand lately, so I've started doing these and the pain has started to go away. Going to keep up these exercises so hopefully it goes away and stays away.

[@PumpkinBreadd]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@GeneralProfessor]

Good stuff.

[@miajolie82]

this guy valid

[@justinmohan7103]

Thanks so much :)

[@enneforme2290]

Thanks for the video. I have wrist problems with long mouse use from a broken wrist which is usually fine with a memory foam wrist pad but causes discomfort at times.

[@5frogfrenzy]

INFAMY614 Apperantly wrist pad aren't very good for your wrist

[@timongaleazzi5653]

Thanks a lot for the videos this is exactly what i have been looking for. I have a little question: I have done the exercises with your videos today for the first time and my wrist (only the right one) started hurting. Is that "normal" and will get better by time or should I not do them too "hard" in the begining? Thank you for your videos it is highly appreciated by the whole gaming community!

[@aethek6609]

thanks a lot, it feels good

[@mxsdrago]

I would trust this man with my life

[@erosestrellado4591]

gotta love this doctor

[@ImProspects]

ur a savior man

[@thomasnovrup2899]

I use all your videos thanks so much

[@cody6469]

I'm thinking this would help to prevent ganglion cysts, this and your first video. Would I be right on that?

[@scouttka972]

thank you so much I love you

[@Berkay-xl4hu]

You are an angel

[@yRegge]

Your Instagram Link is missing the "son" at the end.

[@8c5jk6s2v9fg]

Thanks man

[@bencorbin52]

Holy moly I felt the stretching

[@EBBS_]

i will forever do my stretches!!!! thank you dr levi. catch me on cs boys! with the crispy shot

[@FDTheGamers]

Just reached global elite!

[@9GnaffGnaff4]

I play Osu! and those exercises for hand and wrists worked since the first time! I have a question for you : what about for shoulders pain? (like burning pain after Osu!)

[@Madgoblinn]

if you're having burning pain you should definitely take a break (day or so at least). do some shoulder stretches as well by just moving them around and trying to stretch them out.

[@9GnaffGnaff4]

Madgoblin Thanks! I'll try tomorrow 😂

[@DrinkMyPeeRs]

Do you want to do these stretches even if you're not not gaming? Let's say I'm resting my hand for a few weeks, do I still want to stretch the wrists/hands consistently?

[@hellminer3043]

Thanks man my right 4 arm was really tightened

[@itssilver]

Cant agree any more, taking Breaks > taking a 2 month break because your wrist pain is just too extreme

[@RPT369]

Thanks : )

[@apageor2]

I play a lot of games on facebook so this will come in help

[@xhair12]

Hi, I've been using a vertical mouse for over a year now ever since I originally felt pain in my wrist. I've been pain free for awhile now, but have started experiencing some pain again. This is quite a heavy mouse(100g), do you think it would be beneficial at all for me to alternate between horizontal and vertical mice? Maybe one month vertical one month horizontal etc? I just started doing these exercises.

[@anaskaadan7846]

Dr. Levi, would it hurt to do these desk exercises against a wall? I find it easier to apply pressure that way and the stretching sensation feels similar.

[@Xajsjs]

yes, its extremely dangerous! if you use a wall you WILL get cancer. beware

[@gomes1258]

can confirm, did it on my bedroom wall and got crippling depression.

[@SamKunSam]

yes, not smart to do it on a wall, extremely lethal i almost died after only 3.89 seconds of the stretch, after that i became obese in the following 62 and a half seconds and was diagnosed with stage 5 terminal cancer and my cranial nerves exploded all over my desk, not recommended to do this on a wall, beware.

[@Bineki2002]

It´s normal to feel a little bit of pain after one or two days (especially on the second) after doing this exercises?

[@bencorbin52]

I play for about 3 hours a day I play truck games and car games ( both with a steering wheel) and world of tanks do I still need to be doing this I take a break every hour for 10 mins please answer

[@MadeleneIsaksson]

Hi , I Know you said these exercises are meant for gamers , but I wonder if they also could work for a pianist. Would it be that possible? Cheers !

[@nazhimself]

you won't sit on a piano for 3 hours.

[@humblehermit88]

Madelene Isaksson honestly I couldn't imagine why it would be all that different, you should be using a lot of the same muscles. I'd say this, and maybe some elbow extensor exercises, could be a lot of help to a pianist.

[@MadeleneIsaksson]

@NaZ Swa , No I won't . I can't play it if I sit on it. It would be too uncomfortable. @Andrew Lawrence , Thanks . I´ll check some elbow extensor exercises. @colino I started today with these ones during breaks . It feels good already :)

[@mc_sea]

I'm guessing that this would also apply to pianist since you need a lot of dexterity with hands/wrists especially when you are playing more advanced pieces.

[@zombieslaya1985]

Being a Zombie gamer, playing for hours upon hours with no break(no pause button in public matches) and constantly pushing down on the left thumbstick to sprint, has made me go from no problems at all to really tight elbows, wrists and thumbs/hands. I'm constantly trying to find ways to get a stretch in that relieves these tight muscles, but this video was exactly what I needed. I feel like I stretched muscles in my wrist/elbows that have needed to be stretched for many months. Keep it up doc, you help more people than you realize. I appreciate it.

[@HazFrostYT]

Leaving this here for anyone looking for an easy way to do this as a routine or wants to leave a note for themselves Note: If you feel tons of pain it is important to just stop for a moment. Wrist stretching. ( Make sure you are doing this on a hard surface ) - Get high enough to make sure your arm is pointing straight down, and put the back of your hands on your desk facing each other. (30 Secs) - Slightly hold down on your desk with the back your hands. - Bring your fingers in, and make a fist if you can. (30 Secs) - Bring your hands forward and back. (10 Reps) -Put your hands facing you. (30 Secs) -Bring your fingers up, making a fist. Make sure you are putting pressure on your wrist. (30 Secs) -Now, put your palm on the desk and put your hands facing sideways. (30 Secs) -Put your hands facing you. (30 Secs) -Hands forward, but lean your body forwards. (30 Secs) -At the bottom of your palm, make sure you are pushing it against the desk with your fingers in the air. (30 Secs) -Next, hold your arm straight out and put your fingers out and next to each other. (30 Secs) -Table-top up and down. (10 Reps)

[@chaddesroc]

Dr.Harrison what are your thoughts on vertical mice? I bought one and it hurt alot but I'm wondering if thats just in the beginning and it goes away?

[@jones4452]

will this prevent me from geting the carpel tunnol

[@tooth656]

Arrrgh it hurts so good...

[@griff3n69]

Do you have any for the fingers? I have wrist pops and elbow pops. And my fingers get super tight and strained and pop especially the thumb and middle finger. Do you have like a video that combines all the exercise videos? Also I'm a pc gamer and use a mouse if that matters

[@madestcap]

awesome

[@shockbladezed2726]

God bless our EA doctor,the best doctor in the world

[@janvrabek8555]

Guys can you help me? i was playing WoW,LoL and alot games for 10years everyday without scretching or something, and now i have pain in my hand and waist 24/7 knuckles pain sometimes convulsions ..maybe it's not from playing,i visited doctors and they said i dont have carpal tunel they did not find anything I just got pills for pain and it does not help... someone has experience with it? im desperate

[@phhaiptnk]

Hi Dr Levi, when I try to do the exercise at 4:00 my wrist hurts a lot. What should I do about this ?

[@yasashii_koe]

There is a difference between pain and just feeling how your wrist and arm stretches when you are not used to doing exercise.
