Why does nobody talk about how bad wrist strain gets after a full day of foil highlights?

Last Tuesday I did back to back full highlight clients, 6 hours straight of foiling, and by the end my right wrist was screaming. I had to ice it that night and could barely grip my comb the next morning. Has anyone found a good stretching routine or tool that actually helps between appointments?

Three highlight clients in one day last month and I couldn't even hold a coffee cup that evening. The tendon on top of my wrist felt like it was gonna snap.

20 minutes of icing that tendon right after the last client saved me from a week of agony. Get yourself a compression sleeve with a gel pack sewn in, it stays put while you work. Took me months to figure out that rest alone wasn't cutting it.
