It’s Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! RSI Theory and Therapy
By Suparna Damany, MSPT, and Jack Bellis Millions of workers use computers on the job today, and millions more perform repetitive tasks that don’t involve a computer keyboard. When these workers’ hands start hurting, the authors say, the diagnosis frequently is carpal tunnel syndrome, and the recommended cure is surgery. That diagnosis can be wrong more often than right, the authors say: the problem most likely is a repetitive strain injury, and the problem can be treated without surgery. 232 pages paperback
