A 24-year nail veteran and owner of R.S. Innovations, Robin Stopper developed the Wrist-Assist to ease the repetitive strain issues associated with doing nails. A fibromyalgia-sufferer, Stopper found the muscle fatigue from bending, lifting, and manipulating her clients’ hands had became unbearable. Rather than quit the business, she came up with a solution.

“I realized the need for a product that would support and elevate the clients’ hands, while still allowing free movement in all directions,” says Stopper. “The Wrist-Assist rolls, which allows the technician to position the clients’ hands as close as necessary, improving posture and reducing fatigue. The ergonomic design raises clients’ hands to the proper elevation.” The result of using the Wrist- Assist, says Stopper, is reduced muscle fatigue in the technician’s back, neck, hands, and wrists, along with increased client comfort.”
