Dr. Pascarelli's Complete Guide to Repetitive Strain Injury

It might seem a bit ironic for me to say so but when it comes to your health, or indeed many other subjects, the Web is no competition for a well researched book written by an expert in the field. And that’s exactly what Dr Pascarelli’s book is. My copy was printed in 2004 so some of the hardware and software is a bit dated but the medical advice isn’t. If you are having problems, then you really should educate yourself on what causes the various conditions under the RSI umbrella. The cost is a pittance compared to your health or indeed compared to what you may be forking out for the latest ergonmic input device. Here are the contents;

  1. Understanding RSI
  2. Getting the Diagnosis
  3. RSI and Your Emotions
  4. RSI and Your Eyes
  5. Managing Pain
  6. Your Lower Back
  7. Physical and Occupational Therapy for RSI
  8. Ergonomics: Making Your Equipment Fit
  9. Biomechanics: Using Your Body
  10. At Home with RSI
  11. Getting Back to Work
  12. RSI and Musicians
  13. Other Causes of RSI
  14. Beating RSI: A Five-Step Protection Plan
