It Works
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For 4 months, I've had a "pinched nerve" in my neck that caused chronic pain in my right arm (enough to wake me up in the night, every night) and a sort of "numb" feeling in my right index finger. I've been helped some by my chiropractor, some by massage, and gotten prescription pain relief from my M.D. However, after 3 weeks of this book's daily exercise routine for "power PC users," my right arm has been pain free (with no medication). Regardless of grammer (another reviewer's gripe), what this book says is true and it works.
What a Revelation!

So-called experts would have us believe that the workplace, including offices, are dangerous to people since repetitive motions such as typing are the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome and other painful conditions. That's ridiculous, says author Pete Egosgue, who offers simple and effective exercises to cure those pains and improve our health. This is one of the most valuable books I have ever read.

Great book for computer users
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I started to have wrist, elbow and shoulders pain after 6 years of using PC and mouse. I try arranging my mouse and PC adjusting the height of my chair and table. All of these steps does not help. This book helps to explain how did the pain come about. The excercises are effective and ease the pain after doing it for only 1 or 2 days. Now the problem is to have the discpline to do them.Great book!

The E-cises in this book work wonderfully for getting rid of the pain caused by countless hours spent in front of a computer. After reading this and doing the e-cises, I no longer have headaches, back pain and no risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. I highly recommend this for anyone who spends any amount of time using a computer.
