Default Hidden pockets of injured tissue

Sharon Butler says, "In any RSI(repetitive strain injury), there are hidden pockets of injured tissue that are hard to find and a challenge to feel. Most stretches will fail to find them for you."

I'm finding that the little Indian clubs that I bought are the perfect tool for finding these tight areas. Here's a link that shows Indian clubs being demonstrated.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reWVC...eature=related

I can't do all those movements yet but I can do a few of them, one arm at a time. Using both clubs at the same time takes a lot of coordination and I'm not there yet. Plus, my range of motion isn't that great so it's easier to focus on one arm at a time without hurting myself.

The first couple of months after I started using these, I got a lot of inflammation in my arms after but it seems to be getting less as time goes by. In fact lately, the more I use them, the better I seem to feel.
