Summary: Disappointed.
Review: This book reads like one long advertisment for Montgomery and her Sports balm to which she dedicated several pages.It is awkward to read a text where the author refers to herself in the 3rd person: The montgomery method this and The montgomery method that over and over again. Her 12 step program is covered in very few pages is very insubstancial (although it might actually work. I have not tried it yet). Too much Ego. AGL

Summary: knowledge is power and misinformation is dangerous
Review: Years ago, I had full blown Carpal Tunnel Syndrone after three months of working in a warehouse which involved constant lifting, holding and pulling. I never went to any kind of professional regading my problem because I simply didn't have the funds. Therefore I researched Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and did some exercises which completely eliminated all of the symptoms. This book has some good information in it but it lacks important detailed information about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and even contains some misinformation. When one wishes to overcome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, they need to understand exactly what it is and specifically what causes it. This book explains that CTS is caused by median nerve compression, but it makes no mention of what exactly causes this nerve compression and why. It also does not explain exactly why the exercises given in the book are useful (some of which are actually detrimental). No one with CTS should do ANY kind of sqeezing exercises or curls with weights. These types exercises are DANGEROUS and WILL worsen your condition. Also, no one with CTS wants to press their thumb into their wrist, this can damage the nerve. The only useful exercise given in the entire book for CTS is the rubber band exercise which involves extention of the fingers. If you want to rid yourself of CTS and properly understand your problem, please avoid this book.
