Repetitive use injury (RUI) in the seated working position can result in significant pain and loss of work, perhaps shortening an otherwise long fulfilling career. Breathing, stretching and strengthening key muscle groups to better support and release tension will lead to freedom in the body, the mind and the spirit.

• Learn how and why overuse syndrome can result in pain.
• Understand early identification of imbalance in the body.
