Whilst the causes of sport injuries are resolved when they are being treated, the causes of RSI (CANS, etc) are usually not during the treatment: poor posture needs to be reeducated, stress must be analysed and reduced, ergonomics must be fixed, etc. Teaching people proper posture is not feasible by means of words only. Photos and videos help, but what is needed is proprioception: One needs to feel what is right vs. what is wrong. Mirrors help a lot in this respect. Be careful when exercising: Stand, sit, or lie properly before doing any kind of exercise... what means "properly", needs to be learned, but also understood, and trained. These ideas are pushed on www.ergologic.net. Constructive feedback is most welcome, in your interest, Sean, as well as in the interest of all those suffering musculoskeletal disorders.

Apparently, though I seem to be having more result than you. I bought myself and ergonomic keyboard which took care of my mouse arm (there goes playing 1st person shooters though, at least for a while). I pay attention to my posture constantly during the day and I have also started using software to force me to take breaks. (AntiRSI is the best one I have ever seen.) I still have wrist and hand problems because of using the nice Apple trackpad (which isn't a good ergonomic invention apparently for my RSI). I think desk height, chair height, elbow rests, typing position, feet support are all very important for me. I still constantly read more to correct posture. Hopefully find a way to rid myself of this too. -KiM Hello Sean,
