Book Reviews of Pain Free at Your PC
Book Review: This is an odd book
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an odd book. He seems to talk out of both sides of his mouth: he tells you to use good ergonomic habits on one page, and on the next one to change the height of your chair, keyboard, etc., frequently so that you're not always "in the box" that makes everything be at the "right" angle. A good editor might have improved this book substantially.
What's best about this book is the inclusion of a couple of simple exercises that you can do almost anywhere, whenever you have a few minutes. I'd check this one out from the library rather than buying a copy for myself.
I might recommend his plain-vanilla "Pain-Free" book for most people instead.
Book Review: Pain Free Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I have both benefitted from this book. We owned a copy for years that we would loan out to others which we finally ended up giving to a man who has terrible back and neck problems. I would also be interested to try the other Egoscue books and DVDs.
At one point in time my husband had a desk that moved a dozen ways, an ergonomic chair, and a wrist brace on both arms...the resulting back, neck, and arm pain from heavy computer usage was not getting any better. He got this book and, as long as he does the e-cises, he feels great.
We both highly recommend this book.
Book Review: It Works
Summary: 5 Stars
For 4 months, I've had a "pinched nerve" in my neck that caused chronic pain in my right arm (enough to wake me up in the night, every night) and a sort of "numb" feeling in my right index finger. I've been helped some by my chiropractor, some by massage, and gotten prescription pain relief from my M.D. However, after 3 weeks of this book's daily exercise routine for "power PC users," my right arm has been pain free (with no medication). Regardless of grammer (another reviewer's gripe), what this book says is true and it works.Book Review: pain-free helps!

I am the owner and instructor of a yoga studio and have many students who come to me for help with nagging muscle and nerve impingment problems. I found this book to have some simple exercises that truly help people who spend a large part of their day slumped over a computer screen. And the exercises are not hard and don't take much time to get real results. Give it a try...I highly reccommend this book to all.Book Review: Great book for computer users
Summary: 5 Stars
I started to have wrist, elbow and shoulders pain after 6 years of using PC and mouse. I try arranging my mouse and PC adjusting the height of my chair and table. All of these steps does not help. This book helps to explain how did the pain come about. The excercises are effective and ease the pain after doing it for only 1 or 2 days. Now the problem is to have the discpline to do them.Great book!
