Guest guest Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 This is the old "should I lay off or push through" kind of question. And is similar, I think, to Madonna_ashtanga's query about the tweaking elbow. I've been writing a lot at the computer lately and usually the astanga alleviates any RSI symptoms, or I have excellent wrist posture from the astanga. However, lately I'm having typical RSI pains that make lift-up, jump-back, jump-through vinyasas difficult and PAINFUL. I've decided to switch to the "roll over" technique for the time being. <br><br>My concern is that my wrist/arm strength will diminish, resulting in making the RSI possibly worsen in the long-run (or never really going away because of atrophy) or (worst yet!) I'll "lose" the vinyasas I had been working on all summer. Oh, heaven forbid I have a set-back in my practice (joking- after 4 years there have been plenty of leaps forward and set-backs, so I can handle the temporary "loss" of vinyasa).<br><br>Should I hold up on the wrist pressure in the vinyasas as I am? Or, should I try to push through so as not to lose wrist/arm strength that could potentially lead to more aggravated RSI symptoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
