You can find them at any pharmacy. I have the wrist braces that have metal (sometimes they have hard plastic) inserts that run over the heal of your hand.

At one of my prior jobs, I went thru a bunch of courses to be trained in ergnomics crap... 99 percent of alll carpal tunnel injuries can be prevented by using proper posture and having your workstation environment setup correctly. Those braces, from everything I learned, do very little to correct the problem long term, and can actually make it worse because you are not strenghening your wrist muscles.
POSTURE POSTURE POSTURE... It is 100 percent about posture -- when I go to clients I want to smack the slouchers and the people who have death grips on the meeces because they are going to cause themselves problems in the long run...
