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.

Excellent book! A must read for people experiencing chronic pain. Don't let the title fool you. It's not just for people using a PC. It's for anyone who does any repetitive movement for long periods of time.

- Good advice
I read this book several years ago when I was having major tendonitis in my arms that threatened my ability to work at a computer. It had gotten to the point where I was very limited in ability and in a lot of pain day and night.

I started doing the exercises in Chapter 6 - Ecises for those in Pain. I can tell you that they are not easy but they do work. When I do "Static wall" I can feel the knots in my upper back just melt away. The only problem I have with doing the exercises is the length of time they take. But taking time to improve our health is a choice we make for ourselves and probably most of us should take more time than we do. I did recover in large part to these exercises and a new concept of how the body compensates for poor posture. I don't do them now like I should but if I have pain and return to even some of the exercises - it does make a difference.

I was diagnosed with DeQuervain's Tenosynitis. This book helped me handle the pain in 48 hours! I started doing just a few of the exercises and in 2 days I was better and I had this for months! I am still doing the exercises daily and the pain has not returned.
