Pain Free at Your PC
Author: Pete Egoscu
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

Library Journal
The author of Pain Free returns to address the subject of pain caused by computer work. His philosophy is that carpal tunnel surgery, ergonomic chairs, and pain-killing medicines are poor choices for the treatment of this pain and that only the realignment of the body and correction of muscle weakness can fix computer-related stiff necks, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. In plans for low, moderate, and heavy users of computers, Egoscue offers well-illustrated stretches and strengthening exercises. Though it is difficult to believe that all ergonomic devices are bad and that surgery is never necessary, some library patrons may be clamoring for alternative approaches to overuse injury. Otherwise, try more mainstream sources like Sandra Peddie's The Repetitive Strain Injury Sourcebook (LJ 12/97) or Deborah Quilter's The Repetitive Strain Injury Recovery Book (LJ 2/1/98), which were both written with the assistance of an M.D. This book is recommended only for public libraries where demand warrants.--Elizabeth A.
