4.0 out of 5 stars
best book I've seen, in years of lookin',
By A Customer
This review is from: It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals (Paperback)
This is a terrific book. I've been an RSI sufferer for eight years and it's the best I ever read. Damany & Bellis stay humble about the things they don't know. They provide just enough structural and physiological information to help the reader anchor themselves in a real understanding what's going on. A lot of the books spew out a lot of muscle names and nerve names kind as a way of groping for credibility, without really making sure that information is something the person can use. They're open to the ambiguity, and lay out alternative explanations, for some of the big imponderables in RSI -- such as why some people get injured others don't, or why some recover and others don't. They have pretty darn good descriptions of the nerve glides and stretches and so forth that a person needs to do. One of my great frustrations with even skilled physical therapists is that they describe a stretch and then walk away, without giving the patient good instructions that that they can follow when they get home. The most important thing of all is this: the book seems honest and clearheaded and genuine, and it's clear that they're really interested in helping to move the ball forward in understanding RSI.

Detailed Reality About the Overall Problem,
By Liralen Li (Erie, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals (Paperback)
I really enjoyed the voice and details of this book. It conveyed a much better understanding of the underlying problems to all the pain I was going through, repeatedly. Simply understanding the fact that I have to maintain my body, do things to help it repair itself from the damage I do to it on an everyday basis really helped me figure out what I had to do to be pain free.This book offers very clear, respectful advise and case studies. It shows that the symptoms can vary according to the severity of the cause and how people's bodies are built. No Instant Cure, no promises, but it does give a very useful, general approach to how to understand and manage the overall problems.

Great for obsessive computer users,
By Adult Reader in Calgary (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!: RSI Theory and Therapy for Computer Professionals (Paperback)
I liked this book because it perfectly described my problem: obsessive computer use. I am a programmer who can easily spend all day and all night writing code. This book was written for that kind of user, and it helped me understand exactly what was causing my problem and what had to be done about it. If you hate your job and think that your boss is to blame for your condition, try another book. If you're a computer-using animal and have noticed that your hands or arms have started to go numb or weak - get this book *now*. The down side to this title are its amateurish computer models used to demonstrate exercise techniques.
