How do you take care of your healthy arm?

With all the stress of daily life, there is a lot of wear and tear on our healthy arm. Daily use is over use.
Please share all of your pampering tips, injury prevention stadegies. ie; I have both tennis and golf elbow (damn) yes it hurts...I will not have surgery...because I have found a way to treat it...No lifting of grocery bags...therefore no pressure on the joints or tendants..watch how much you do if you start a project, divide up the project in stages. Like the turtle slow and steady :) I get a massage when I can. The shoulder is very happy afterwards. Ice the arm when it just starts to hurt and a find a super soft down filled pillow to wedge it so it rests softly at night between your body to sleep. I take motrin once in a while for imflamation.

Ok...:) your turn...
