I can't read the article as the server is not responding, but from what I gather it's about RSI, carpel tunnel, etc. I'd like to present an alternate viewpoint and suggest that RSI is not caused by physical action, such as typing on a computer keyboard or bad posture, but rather it's root cause is psychological (with the understanding that physical things are happening, but they are controlled by your mind).

I suggest reading "The Mindbody Prescription" by Dr John E Sarno. Here is one of the better summary of the ideas (in Word doc format): http://www.rsi.deas.harvard.edu/handout.doc

Personally, I have been pain free for over 10 years thanks to this.

Here is the story of someone else who cured his RSI pain using this method, it is very similar to what I experienced: http://aaroniba.net/articles/tmp/how-i-cured-my-rsi-pain.htm...




Same here. It was really quite bad, I had nerve pain 24/7, numbness, soreness, you name it. In fact, when I first learned about TMS, it got worse. I was unemployed, and going through very bad depression, and despite ceasing all computer use, I was still in constant pain. I think my subconscious was just sadistically causing me pain.

Anyways, the symptoms disappeared quite suddenly during an LSD trip, weirdly enough. It was one of the most blissful days of my life, just relaxing in nature with some good friends.

Still unemployed and depressed, but at least I don't have horrible pain to deal with every day...
