Hit 1,000 haircuts this month and it finally clicked why my wrist hurts

I kept track because I was trying to build up my client list. But adding up the numbers, that's like 33 cuts a day if I worked every day. No wonder my right wrist has been aching for weeks. I never thought about the repetitive motion adding up that fast. Anyone else keep a running count and get surprised by the wear and tear?

Dismissed the repetitive strain warnings for years but seeing it laid out like that makes it hard to ignore. How long did it take before you started adjusting your technique?

Oh man, I did the same thing with typing once. Counted my keystrokes for a week and was floored at how many I was doing just sending emails.
