Default Our TOS tips list - self helps, products, tools, therapies

I'm hoping to reconstruct the great list of suggestions, tips and helps we had before.
All the old basic stuff and any new things you can add.
If you found a good product or tool tell about it & maybe add a link that shows it.
************************************************

For self triggerpoint work -
there are many tools out there, I used the pressure pointer and tennis balls. They have a nice chart for upperbody sx & TrPs.

Acupressure for RSI - http://altmedicine.about.com/library...ressure+points

Get rid of the heavy shoulder bag or purse - use lots of pockets, fanny pack or a backsaver type of small backpack/purse.

from - http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_r...topcategory=Ar
[Ulnar nerve pain-
* Avoid frequent use of the arm with the elbow bent. If you use a computer frequently, make sure that your chair is not too low. Do not rest the elbow on the armrest.

* Avoid leaning on the elbow or putting pressure on the inside of the arm. For example, do not drive with the arm resting on the open window.

* Keep the elbow straight at night when you are sleeping. This can be done by wrapping a towel around the straight elbow, wearing an elbow pad backwards, or using a special brace.]

To see what kind of products & tools are out there- some have info and articles too.
