  3.   STRESS AND INJURY PREVENTION
  4.       (FOR COMPUTER USERS)

  6. You   hear  so  much  about  how
  7. to treat RSI (repetitive  strain
  8. injury), carpal tunnel syndrome,
  9. and  other  VDT  users' physical
  10. injuries  and  complaints  these

  27. an idea!?   Seriously,  injuries
  28. will  take away from the quality
  29. of your life.  Suppose you  love
  30. to   play  tennis  or  write,  a
  31. serious RSI  injury  would  keep
  32. you from doing it.
  33.  
  34. Before   telling   you   how  to
  35. avoid  stress  and  injury,  I'd
  36. like    to    give    you   some
  37. information about  RSI  and  CTD
