"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!

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!

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.

Wonderfully done. This book does a fabulous job of providing simple solutions to complex problems. The illustrations are extremely helpful in demonstrating the exercises that can prevent repetitive stress injuries. Mr. Bonomo and Mr. Seidler did an outstanding job of explaining the causes of repetitive stress injuries and how to decrease the incidence of these injuries in the work place.. This book is a great addition to anyone's library who either works with a computer or treats patient's with repetitive stress injuries.

No longer do I suffer from back pain, sore wrists, and neck strain. Beautifully written, concise, and practical,"Ergaerobics" is truly a "must have" book for everyone!

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!

Good instruction, a great price, and a growing-in-importance subject area all add up to a definite recommendation.

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.
