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.

Back in 2007, an RAF typist was awarded £484,000 as a compensation for an RSI injury. To put this in perspective, a soldier who lost all 4 limbs would receive have received approximately £250,000.
