If you can find one qualified in the "[Robin] Alexander technique," so much the better. My physio has used a combination of manipulation treatments with prescribed regular exercises to get me better than the previous "normal," including complete relief to what my doctor blew off as bursitis due to middle age.<br />April 3, 2008, 8:45:29 AM PDT – Like – Reply<br /><br />Smilodon <br />I'm sorry to hear about your experience. And "they" wonder why we try to find (aka are driven to find) information on the web. I think the chief reason I don't have carpal tunnel after many years of computer work is that I have always stretched my fingers and palms upwards/backwards with the other hand. My sister has had operations, on both arms/wrists, I think, and still has problems. I hope you don't end up as she did.<br />March 2, 2008, 6:48:37 AM PST – Like – Reply<br /><br />Radagast <br />Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I've touch typed for most of my life, and have used ergonomic keyboards (Microsoft ones) for about 14 years now. <br /> <br />I should go find some good stretches!<br />February 16, 2008, 11:55:41 AM PST – Like – Reply<br /><br />dan <br />i have had some pain from excessive typing in computer-related jobs. the first time this happened i learned how to type properly (i had been 'hunting and pecking'), which helped a lot. after a great deal of typing with good technique, the pain resurfaced and i replaced my flat keyboard with a microsoft 'natural' keyboard, which was awkward at first but helped a great deal. i never reached the point of being diagnosed with carpal tunnel or having symptoms while not typing, but if you are using a flat keyboard i would highly suggest trying the microsoft 'natural' or similar ergonomic keyboards (i also had a fujitsu split keyboard which was adjustable in the angle of the split, as well as the incline to which the entire keyboard was propped, which was neat to experiment with, but ultimately i went back to the microsoft one). <br /> <br />i have also found that stretching exercises provide some relief. fortunately i have had only minor pains from the guitar <br />February 16, 2008, 1:39:13 AM PSRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419540565463343922noreply@blogger.com
