As for all my books, I provide a disclaimer with a difference. Instead of the usual The following material is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a physician, followed by a recommendation that you consult a doctor before following the program thats being offered and a disclaimer of legal responsibility should there be adverse consequences, I take another approach. Dont read this book if you feel you need the protection of a disclaimer and its counsel. Im serious. Health care must start with personal responsibility. This vital role should not be delegated to any expert. Yours is the ultimate judgment. Any disclaimer that suggests otherwise does a great disservice.

The true source of chronic musculoskeletal pain is rarely the site of the pain - photo 2

The true source of chronic musculoskeletal pain is rarely the site of the pain. If your wrist hurts while you are pointing and clicking with a mouse, the pain probably has nothing to do with the device.

Its a deal. Lets shake on it.

I cant, my wrist hurts.

Hah! I told you that was going to happen.

I know, but my careers golden. Im on the cutting edge.

Cutting edge? High-tech hell is more like it.
