RSI Seminar
To quote from the popular and authoritative book on Repetitive
Strain Injuries (RSI) by Suparna Damany
and Jack Bellis, It's
Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
"The world of RSI is one of pain and
frustration, muddled unfortunately, by a whirlwind of questionable
information. Depending on whom you talk to, RSI can be either
a form of fraud perpetrated by malingering employees, or a debilitating
complex of nerve and muscle disorders. To anyone who has experienced
its pain, numbness, and loss of strength, it is quite emphatically
the latter. But if you seek out the prevailing literature on the
subject, you will come away with your head spinning. You won't
know if your problem stems from pregnancy or bad genes. Distinct
from the prior literature, our theory highlights the factors that
are at the heart of many patients' problems, and generally not
known by many health practitioners, mainstream or alternative…
and how these all fit into a larger scheme that can be more properly
addressed as a whole."
Suparna Damany, widely regarded
as one of the world's topmost RSI Therapists, is now associated
with the RSI
& Soft Tissue Clinic. Suparna is visiting Bangalore
from December 11 to 14, 2004 to treat patients, provide advanced
training to Myotherapists of the Clinic and to conduct a seminar
on RSI for Patients, Computer Users, and HR/Ergonomics/Rehabilitation/Medical
Professionals. This comprehensive multi-disciplinary seminar is
co-hosted by the RSI
India Patient Support Group.
