Hand problems (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sero5074
Do you find that your dominant hand has problems with it? I am Left handed and my fingers constantly feel jammed, hard to grip things properly. It is hard to crack them, still when I get them to pop there is no relief anymore. I think it is because of the way I hold the steam pitchers and grabbing milks. Pumping syrups possibly as well. My hand will cramp up from being on bar. I stretch my hands well before my shifts. Any advice?

Left handed as well, but we living in a right world. I would just train the other hand best you can. You might drop some stuff but thats okay.

I have the same problem and same as you i’m pretty sure it’s from bar. I do hand and wrist stretches after work and before if i remember. It’s helped a lot especially the rotating wrist stretches.
