Book Reviews of It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! RSI Theory & Therapy for Computer Professionals

Book Review: Pinpoint accuracy on a relatively new kind of injury
Summary: 5 Stars

Suparna and Jack have given a huge gift to the software development industry. Reading this book back in 2002 helped me begin my journey to recovery after I had gotten to the point of not being able to throw a football to my son. I fully recovered in about a year. Unfortunately, this year (2008), I got so excited about a project at work that I got laser-focused for about 4 months and have re-injured myself. My problem is (and I suspect also for other RSI sufferers) is that I don't pay attention to my posture and ergonomics when I'm well. So I pulled this book off the bookshelf and have begun again. The medical profession still seems in the dark on this subject. For others out there who have the "all or nothing" personality, I also recommend, The DaVinci Method by Garrett Loporto. This will help you understand how some people get laser-focused which is often when these injuries occur.
