Prevention is Better than Cure
The Alexander Technique is increasingly used to prevent the onset of RSI conditions. Sitting in front of a computer all day is a demanding activity for anyone. Working with postural tensions can lead to discomfort and even injury. Learning to maintain a balanced and relaxed posture during work, can help reduce the dangers of developing RSI. If symptoms have already started, it is advisable to start Alexander lessons to aid in the healing process, and avoid further injury. The following excerpt is a stark reminder of the seriousnesss of RSI:
"£484,000. What an RAF typist has received in compensation for an RSI injury. The payout is £200,000 more than what a soldier would receive for the loss of all four limbs."
From MoneyWeek magazine, August 3rd, 2007.
