Hi all - I've noticed quite a few posts and concerns regarding wrist pain and health so I wanted to create this AMA to help out our community.
My name is Dr. Matthew Hwu and I’m a Doctorate of Physical Therapy who has worked with a few professional players in FPX, DIG, T1, COL to manage and prevent their injuries. I’m also a part of 1HP, a team of medical professionals who only have one mission: Help gamers play more and hurt less. We want gamers to be better and have created a home-base at 1-HP.org for gamers to learn everything they need to know about staying healthy. Over the past 5 years we have worked with professional esports players in almost every gaming title (pros from EG, 100T, CLG, IMT, DIG, COL, FPX, NIP, T1, NRG and more) to manage issues relating to their health and want to push our community to be more mindful of the pillars of health:
- Movement (Exercise, Injury Management, Posture)
- Environment (Ergonomics, Sleep, Habits)
- Nutrition (Noms)
- Mindset (Mental Performance, Social, Emotional, Psychological Wellbeing)
We (Dr. Elliot Smithson, Dr. Caitlin Mcgee, Dr. Jon Chung DC, Jake Middleton) are here today to answer any possible questions you might have! So ask away :)
