We did a search for other books with a similar title, however there were no matches. You can try selecting from a similar category, click on the author's name, or use the search box above to find your book.

Spending long periods of time at a computer terminal, or behind a desk takes a different kind of physical toll on anyone and introduces us to new injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, to add to the usual daily dose of tension and stress. This book draws on the principles of one of the most popular fitness books of our time to relieve those tensions, and create pain-free days. Hundreds of combinations, with clear and simple instructions, and easy-to-follow illustrations, show the reader how to use the exercises in their own surroundings in the office or at home. No special equipment required--relief can be found wherever and whenever it is needed.
