Valeria interviews Sharon Butler, the author of Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Other Repetitive Strain Injuries: A Self-Care Program
Sharon’s work offers a complete self-care program for those at risk and those already suffering from one of the most common and most debilitating occupational injuries. Guided by symptom charts, you select the best exercises for the movement patterns required by your work and learn how to restore the range of motion to overworked hands and arms.
Sharon Butler and is a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner with over 32 years experience working with people suffering from all kinds of soft tissue injuries. She has always been fascinated by the structure of the human body and the injuries that develop as a result of poor posture or stressful movement habits.
Hellerwork emphasizes the body’s natural ability to heal itself when good posture and alignment is restored. During a Hellerwork session, the practitioner manually stretches adhered, tight and restricted connective tissue to restore it to a more normal state. Then, the client is taught how to maintain good posture through how they use their body, a form of ergonomics. Clients are also encouraged to discover how their attitudes, beliefs, and stress patterns affect their posture. Hellerwork is a terrific program of self-discovery and healing.
In 1991, Sharon became injured with bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Because of her understanding of how the body works when it's injured, she was able to fully heal herself within a matter of weeks.
Based on Sharon’s Hellerwork background, she was determined to develop a system of effective stretches and other body awareness techniques so that anyone, anywhere could experience relief from their symptoms. Her ultimate goal was to create comprehensive and easy to follow programs that help RSI sufferers feel better fast, and make those programs accessible to anyone in the world.
