Physiotherapy... Don't Lift Weights!

[katharina]

I was just reading an article that mentioned physiotherapy. While some forms of it may give relief, actual weight lifting will most likely make it worse, so beware if you're trying various "strengthening" approaches.

[Karl]

Hmm, I do weight lighting a 2-3 times a week. I hope this is not contributing to my RSI, I'd hate to have to go it up. Being a regular computer user the weight lifting is one of my ways to keep myself healthy, I enjoy it, and it's good for me (or so I thought!).

[10cents]

Is it strength training or the body-building kind of weight lifting? I'm not an expert on this but strength training improves muscle tone and strengthen ligaments and joints so it might actually help us prevent or lessen RSI.

[Karl]

Yeh I would say it was strength training. I don't push myself to really heavy weights, I have just a weight I'm happy with and I've been lifting the same weights for about a year now. I imagine body builders are continously pushing themselves to life heavier weights.

As for whether or not it is helping my RSI, I have no idea. Some times I do think all that weight on my wrists cannot be good for me, but with that said, I'm stubburn and I'm not gunna give into RSI that easy! :)

Where was the article that you read, Katharina? I would agree more with 10 cents, though I could see how extensive weight training could be harmful.

I've read that regular aerobic exercise can improve blood flow, which can help.

[eshaw]

I wonder if wearing some sort of brace or other device would help while weight lifting. I would also have to agree that strength training may either help or at least do the least amount of damage. Of course i don't know a lot about weight lifting, I'm only going by what I've read.

i guess with weight lifting, we are gain putting extra pressure on those points which get a high amount of beating while we do computer work. as far as i think,its only going to aggravate the situation.

Here are some recommended exercises for RSI relief...

RSI exercises (http://www.mydailyyoga.com/yoga/rsi.html)

PC World - Essential Ergonomics (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,16036-page,1/article.html)

Weight training isn't on the list so I guess it's only for preventing RSI. When we already have RSI on a particular joint or muscle, it might not be good to strain the particular area. I also came across an article where it says body building exercises is definitely not good for RSI sufferers.

Wow, you're going to put me to work this morning. Yikes!
Okay, I'll take some time now to try to find that article
again and if I do, I'll post it. Should have done that
the first time, yeah, yeah, I know that NOW! :-)

Okay, I don't know where I first saw it, but here's some reading that
will confirm my suspicions...

Dr. Deepak Sharan (http://www.deepaksharan.com/cri_symptoms.html) (under the "do not" section)

8. What treatment can I get for RSI? (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/uk/health/rsi/section-8.html) (under the physiotherapy section, it says it's likely to make it worse)

I guess the bottom line is that for all the places and doctors I can find that will say it's bad for RSI, someone else will find sites that say it's good. This is a relatively new thing at least the kind that comes from computer use and it wasn't a problem 15 years ago when many doctors were in med school, so there's disagreement.

In your case, Karl, I'd strongly suggest (after seeing your doc) giving yourself a rest for a little while to make *sure* it's not making your RSI worse. That's all... take two ibuprofine and some chocolate and call me in the morning. :-)

From what I understand, over-developed and under-developed both place people at higher risk of RSI. Over-developed muscles are not as flexible, so that's the problem with them.

It is a good artical and helpful for me to read it.There is a short story as follows:I do not speak out, because I will not speak Putonghua, the people of a thick, only listen to the quiet, the laughter can also laugh, to the恼also恼, or quietly. Mouth of the functional loss of an important aspect, especially on smoking, better-Chila, Chicu. I have to learn Putonghua, is the first meeting I once Jinya the time, and I love when I have some reputation is another, often been invited. But my theory, the tongue on the hardware, such as models walk the streets of the word step, the purpose of vinegar Liu. Nausea have their own tone, it also exports ashamed to let others listen, so no final studies. Later wish to Chairman Mao do not speak Putonghua, and I do not say. I listen to the Jiaxiang Hua outsiders do not understand, often said to be one side of a pen to write these words, speaking of thinking will have to cut off, speak no more of the passion, nor has he had fun, not simply a result, said. One summer, a Beijing writer Mo Yan's call to Xinjiang, and suddenly I made a telegram, I went to Xi'an Railway Station to pick him up, then I have not seen Mo Yan, on a card to write the "Mo Yan" in Transferred to the station waiting for him to a morning I did not say a word, many people straight Chouzhuo I do not speak, it failed to reason, Mo Yan Xian, fast until the afternoon, I asked a person compelled × ×, The arrival of the train did not, the person first hand the card over, I had a child, said: "Now I can speak to you I do not know." I suddenly wake up to the card reads "Mo Yan". It's nice word, but to let others use a pen name. I now often mentioned a bag, is a deaf-mute school gave me, and I often have to "deaf-mute school"-the word out, go find it very comfortable. Will not speak Putonghua, I untold, I do not meet the leadership, see a woman, see born, slowly at the lack of social, spent more melon. But I will curse, and then scolded his home soil, I feel the United States and Chang. I say so when, in fact, very sad heart, not hate themselves too, again on their own morale, in many articles, I wrote I never wrote is the birthplace of the mountain of poverty, and write "place of birth as Shaoshan, "said Putonghua will not write partial wrote: Putonghua is the words of ordinary people! Upon a monk taught me the secret of the major achievements: a mind, tight-lipped. My daughter in her bedroom, also wrote that the motto of eight characters, but she wrote: "Heart of a defensive-such as the mouth." Ping is my Ruming, she said that she also Moriguchi, such as the father. Will not speak Putonghua, I lost a lot of good things, but also avoid a lot of right and wrong. There are rumors and messages - With rumors mouth, messages on T. I will not gossip, and rumors of rolling when I came, I can only silence.___________________________________from:ww w.fast-wowgold.com/age-of-conan-gold.htm (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/age-of-conan-gold.htm)2moons gold (http://www.fast-wowgold.com/2moons-dil.htm)EVE ISK (http://www.just4gold.com/)Dofus Kamas (http://www.fcsgame.com/dofus-kamas.htm)wow gold (http://www.fcsgame.com/)
