Can RSI Be Cured?
RSI can be cured if you tackle the problem early enough. Experience shows that many people ignore the symptoms for too long and this hinders a quick recovery. Beginning RSI symptoms can easily be treated as long as people take action in time. When people accept their pains and fail to do anything about them, the pains can become serious and affect other areas of the body. In this stage, many measures like stopping the activities that cause the pains are not sufficient any more. In the worst case, RSI may become chronic and require months or even years to cure. The only real cure for RSI does not exist. Whether people turn to physiotherapy, Mensendieck, Caesar Therapy, massages, relaxation exercises, acupuncture, or psychotherapy: what works for one person has no effect at all for another person. The effectiveness of the various therapies has not been scientifically established yet. This results in a situation where RSI patients go from one kind of therapy to another before they finally find the treatment that is most effective for them. The most suitable approach is a holistic one: we have to look at all aspects of a situation and often have to pass through a whole series of treatment strategies and changing strategies. In this kind of systematic approach, we see a great added value for the techniques of Meditation and Yoga.
It is our experience that MEDITATION is a very suitable technique to support effectively any treatment and curing strategy. Meditating helps us to improve our health, to maintain our stress reserves, to neutralize stress reactions, and to deal with stress instead of reacting to it. Meditating causes a feeling of relaxation, reduces muscle tension, helps you to know and understand your body better, and all these things speed up the process of developing a heightened awareness and a will to change.
Meditating also helps you to accept your symptoms better, which is very important for RSI patients because it is not something that you can fight. To put it even more strongly: one of the founders of ABC of Meditation and the author of many articles on this site suffered from RSI himself and was able to get cured, among other things through Meditation!
