For example, would you jump out of bed, and immediately try to run in a foot race? That would be crazy, wouldn't it? No one would attempt to engage in major physical activity without a warm up.
Typing is a "major physical activity" (see the section on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for more information.) You need to warm up your finger and body muscles before starting to type. Then you need to take breaks, and engage in stress reduction exercises.
