I was also very, very skeptical about this. But I have to say, it worked for me. I read this book in desperation after learning Dvorak, getting a fancy Kinesis keyboard, and getting expensive physical therapy (massaging of my forearms, hand strengthening exercises) to no effect. I repeat, no effect.
I don't know what else to say. It still sounds like bullshit to me, but it worked when all of the other methods did not.
- dvdkhlng 13y agoWhen talking about physical therapy, did you ever consider referred pain patterns [1], like neck/shoulder muscle tension causing pain in the wrist/fingers? I found the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook [2] quite enlightening in that regard. Maybe you should think about doing some weightlifting or jogging instead of trying to strengthen your hands :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referred_pain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referred_pain [2] http://www.triggerpointbook.com/ http://www.triggerpointbook.com/
- jdahlin 13y agoI was in a similiar situation a few years back, had to stop working due to the pain. Went to a loads of doctors, tried medication, fancy keyboards, changing chairs, improving postures, raising monitors, switching mouse arm etc. It all helped a little, but nothing solved it. 12-18 months of gym/pilates helped in the end, after gaining strength in my hands, wrists and arms I was able to go back to full time working again, without feeling pain.
