[CAUT] Lessons from shoulder surgery

[johnsond]

Hi-

If you are lucky to catch it early enough, I was amazed at the 
improvement and healing I got just doing the daily rotary cup exercises 
as recommended in physical therapy.  They also determined I had tennis 
elbow, and explained that the wrist position and muscle stress we have 
while tuning is the same as for tennis players.  The message is clear-  
if you have pain, listen to it.  Do something about it. It will only get 
worse if you don't.   We have a physically demanding job.  One that 
demands certain physical attention and maintenance or over time you will 
have problems...  might anyway, but give yourself a chance. 

cheers~
