Forearm work can release tightness in the flexor muscles
Structural Integration has a proven track record in preventing and alleviating repetitive stress injuries.
A November 2000 press release from the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration reports that “Officials at Starkey Laboratories, one of Minnesota’s largest and most successful manufacturers, cite Rolfing structural integration as a big factor in slashing their workers compensation costs nationally to less than $150,000 in 1996 from $1.3 million…”
Renate believes that Repetitive Stress is a complex problem that must be addressed from many angles. An ergonomically sensible work setup, and frequent breaks are essential. Structural Integration can then support the client in becoming more aligned and can thus be of tremendous benefit.
Because Renate spent over 15 years in front of a computer as a technical writer, she is especially interested in helping you avoid repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic neck pain, and so on. If you are considering Structural Integration as a preventative measure, she can help with hands-on work and movement education. If you already suffer from symptoms, she’d like to become part of your treatment team.
Stretching your hand regularly is highly recommended - even without a big-leaf maple leaf!
Testimonial: I was contemplating surgery for inflammation in the tendon of my thumb, which had resulted from frequently lifting books in my work as a librarian. I received the ten series from Renate and I’m happy to report that the surgery was not necessary and I’m doing great!
