This book presents a rehabilitative stretching system that has been taught to thousands of workers in companies ranging from Fortune 500 businesses to small manufacturers. This system is unique in that it is designed to stretch the body's network of connective tissue. Unlike many other forms of deep-tissue bodywork, Rossiterís stretches are easy to teach and learn, and require no more equipment than a partner, a soft mat, and a chair.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stretches get 5 stars, book gets 3, split the difference, September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries the Rossiter Way (Paperback)

I found the book to be really annoying to read. To much new-age mumbo-jumbo about "owning your pain", a lot of repetition, sometimes feels like the book is talking down to you or oversimplifying things.

Having said that, I found that the stretches are very effective for relief from RMI/RSI symptoms, and for that alone this book is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immediately reduces pain of tight, ropy muscles!, August 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries the Rossiter Way (Paperback)

Thank you for a book that not only is easy to understand and follow, but also one which actually does what it claims! The book is a godsend for my family! I have had full-blown Fibromyalgia Syndrome for more than 10 years, and I've taken advantage of almost every traditional and non-traditional modality of healing which exists. In short, none have provided noticable relief for the pain. The upper body streches as demonstrated in the book really do reduce the pain in my neck and shoulders as well as increase my range of motion in those areas. Likewise, my husband experiences cramping and aching in both calf muscles in the evenings, and traditional strectches do nothing to alleviate the discomfort. Enter the Rossiter calf stretches and , just like that, the pain disappears. It's not magic, it just works! The book has become my best friend! Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries the Rossiter Way, November 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcoming Repetitive Motion Injuries the Rossiter Way (Paperback)

Half of this book explains Repetitive Motion Injuries (RMI), and the other half describes exercises to overcome RMI. I never read the half that explains RMI. I just read the half that describes the exercises. I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and was wearing a cast 24 hours a day. My doctor was ready to start injections and then maybe surgery. The exercises in this book completely cured my problem with no medical treatment needed. I then gave the book to my doctor.
