Summary: Best book I've found on repetitive stress injuries.
Review: "Why does working @ my computer hurt so much" is the best book I've found on preventing repetitive stress injuries. It filled with practical information for anyone who spends long hours in front of a computer (secretaries, programmers, writers, college students).

The authors, both physical therapists, provide guidelines for arranging your workstation and how to sit there once it's arranged. The best part is an extensive list of exercises for your back,neck,jaw,thumbs,wrists,elbows, and shoulders designed specifically to prevent repetitive stress injuries. In addition, each exercise is illustrated so you never have to wonder if your doing the exercises correctly.

Once again, a great book!

Review: Creative ways to relieve those aches and pains of office and terminal stress. The authors show some simple techniques to exercise at your desk. Moves like the 'Frankenstein Shrug' or the 'reverse desk lift' makes exercising fun and easy to remember. Be sure to buy 2 copies, my husband took mine to his office and passes himself off as a personal trainer.

Summary: This book is extremely helpful.
Review: I thought the book was great. I sit at a computer all day and I suffer from TMJ and the exercises in the book really helped me to feel better. Not only an ergonomic helper but a stress reliever too!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Helped me feel better
Review: If you've got the discipline to do these exercises you will reap the benefits. See also a book called Ergonomic Living for many great quick fixes that don't require effort on the readers part.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you work on your computer a lot, you need this book!
Review: Nowadays a lot of computer users worry about ruining their eyes. What's more dangerous is doing serious damage to muscles and joints-- damage that can last a lifetime.

This important new book from physical therapists Perry Bonomo and Daniel Seidler will help show you how to have a healthy work station and give you valuable, easy exercises to avoid these annoying injuries, as well as developing good work habits.

Every employer on earth would do a great service to their workers if they gave them ErgAerobics. I've already suggested the idea to my Human Resources department!
