Using a computer doesnt have to hurt. Prevent or reverse repetitive stress injuries Cure carpal tunnel syndrome End chronic wrist, shoulder, and neck pain Ease eyestrain Avoid surgery, drugs, and wrist braces Using a computer should challenge your mind, not your body. As computers become a larger part of our daily lives both at work and at home, complaints of painful wrists, sore shoulders, stiff necks, and blurry vision associated with computer use continue to soar. But the good news is that this chronic pain can easily be prevented or cured without surgery or drugs--or expensive ergonomic equipment. Theres no need to move your monitor, wear wrist braces, or sit in a specially designed chair. Instead, Pete Egoscue, using the techniques and principles developed at his renowned clinic, shows you how to keep pointing and clicking for hours--pain free. Youll learn how to: Avoid or treat common but debilitating repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome Recognize and remedy problems in posture and movement before they cause pain Do easy-to-perform exercises at your desk to eliminate chronic hand, wrist, shoulder, back, and neck pain Quickly and easily correct damaging patterns of motion And much more From the Trade Paperback edition.

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. If your wrist hurts while you are pointing and clicking with a mouse, the pain probably has nothing to do with the device.
