Do you spend more time on the computer than you do on any other single waking activity? If so, you probably have or will experience pain while using the computer. Many people live in pain and discomfort for many years and then are forced to change careers. You can avoid this fate. Unfortunately, conventional approaches for treating computer-related injury like traditional medical care will cost you precious time and money and may not even come close to preventing or treating your injury. This book offers an unconventional approach to attaining pain-free computing without sacrificing productivity through the vision of a Computer Athlete.A Computer Athlete is a computer user that is fit for and skilled at working with a computer. The difference between a computer athlete and a computer user is similar to the difference between a track athlete and someone who just goes for jogs in the park. An athlete has skill, discipline, special technique, and training for the activity that he/she participates in. People who use the computer on a daily basis are computer users whereas computer athletes must meet other qualifications. To become a Computer Athlete, you must master the five key areas : Equipment and Usage, Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, Self-Awareness and Self-Care, and Stress Management. You must work on all of the disciplines above. If you ignore any of these areas, you can still develop pain and debilitating injury. By becoming a computer athlete, you can: 1. Be happier at home and at work 2. Save time and money 3. Gain an edge over your peers 4. Avoid painful computer related injury 5. Assist co-workers, friends, and family The ideas and techniques in this book have helped students, writers, investment bankers, computer programmers, and many others. Now it's your turn . . . Learn the principles of a Computer Athlete and through them a better way to live and work. About the author Brian Bentow developed several painful computer-related injuries and faced a daunting challenge: find a way to reach a state of pain-free computing or be forced to change careers. Reasoning that it would be easier to change his habits, he began developing his vision of a Computer Athlete. Since that time, he has spent thousands of hours applying and practicing the principles of a Computer Athlete. He wishes to share this incredibly important idea for the benefit, increased productivity, and happiness of all those who use a computer.

Trigger point therapy is one of the most intriguing and fastest-growing bodywork styles in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain—conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. The technique involves applying short, repeated massage strokes to trigger points, tiny contraction knots in muscle tissue where restricted circulation and lack of oxygen cause referred pain. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. This dynamic technique has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. The book has sold over 220,000 copies since the release of the first edition in 2001. The second edition is a complete update and includes a new chapter specifically for massage professionals, as well as a chapter on systematic muscle relaxation techniques that can reinforce the therapeutic power of trigger point work.

Trigger point therapy is one of the most intriguing and fastest-growing bodywork styles in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain—conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. The technique involves applying short, repeated massage strokes to trigger points, tiny contraction knots in muscle tissue where restricted circulation and lack of oxygen cause referred pain. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. This dynamic technique has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. The book has sold over 220,000 copies since the release of the first edition in 2001. The second edition is a complete update and includes a new chapter specifically for massage professionals, as well as a chapter on systematic muscle relaxation techniques that can reinforce the therapeutic power of trigger point work.
