Synopsis

Crafting can place repeated demands on the body, and this guide sets out to help makers understand those strains and reduce the risk of discomfort or injury. It explains common issues associated with repetitive movement, including tendonitis, carpal tunnel and repetitive strain injury, then outlines practical ways to avoid them.

Alongside posture guidance and advice on tools and materials, it includes warm-ups and stretches to use before, during and after crafting sessions, plus strengthening exercises intended to support long-term resilience. Suitable for a wide range of crafts, including knitting, crochet, spinning, dyeing and weaving, it is made to travel easily in a project bag for quick consultation.
