[does a type of ''tap'' therapy to help relieve it]

was it called EFT {emotional freedom technique or emofree for short}?

I did this for my RSI injury in 99, sounds kind of weird that tapping in a pattern can make a change , but I think it did help.
I really should try it again for a few things....

The website has a free download manual that tells how to do some basic treatments. Shows the tapping points and tells about it and the tapping sequence.

Supposedly can help for just about anything, a large part of it is for the mental/emotional aspect.
