Product Description:
Using a computer doesn't 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. There's 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.
You'll 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

- pain-free helps!
I am the owner and instructor of a yoga studio and have many students who come to me for help with nagging muscle and nerve impingment problems.I found this book to have some simple exercises that truly help people who spend a large part of their day slumped over a computer screen.And the exercises are not hard and don't take much time to get real results.Give it a try...I highly reccommend this book to all.

- This is an odd book
This is an odd book.He seems to talk out of both sides of his mouth:he tells you to use good ergonomic habits on one page, and on the next one to change the height of your chair, keyboard, etc., frequently so that you're not always "in the box" that makes everything be at the "right" angle.A good editor might have improved this book substantially.
