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 shows you how to keep pointing and clicking for hours pain free using the techniques and principles developed in his esteemed clinic. 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
