Office Job Cramping Your Style?

Do you have a job staring at a computer all day? Well most of us do now, but don't let it cramp your style.  Everyone will develop some form of discomfort, strain or pain working at a desk job.  But if you don't take care of yourself while you work through the day you can develop more serious ailments such as Repetitive Strain Injury, which is a catch all phrase for many conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Trigger Finger, Tenosynovitis / DeQuervain's Syndrome, Tendonitis, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Chronic Sprain.  We are now discovering office related work can lead to even more serious problems such as Deep Vein Thrombosis , which can be lethal.



Healing Joint Pain

If you're over twenty five, you probably have experienced some form of joint pain. The bad news is that as we get older the more likely it is that we will have persistent joint pain of some sort.  If you play sports, jog or weight train you are likely to have tendinitis at some point, and as you age arthritis becomes a probability. In fact 68% of people over the age of 65 are living with arthritis.  It can be very debilitating. Now that many of us work on computers for a living, we are likely to develop tendinitis in our fingers and wrists, others may get lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow if their work involves any type of lifting.
