Join Lara for a fascinating and informative conversation about Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) with, pioneer in the field, Deborah Quilter. Deborah is an ergonomics expert, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner, a yoga therapist, and the founder of the Balance Project at the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. She hosts a YouTube Channel to raise awareness about RSI and give viewers reliable information and coping strategies.
Repetitive Strain Injury is the leading occupational injury in the US but few people find out about it until they are injured. People need to know the risk factors and warning signs in order to prevent injury.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- what is a repetitive strain injury.
- the importance of good posture in avoiding these types of injuries.
- advice on how you can set up your workstation to help prevent repetitive strain injury.
- some exercises to do if you already are feeling some of the symptoms.
