Antonio
founded Ergobal in 2001 with a vision of creating a viable solution to the
growing problem of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) in the workplace, Activities
of Daily Living (ADL's) and at play. Most MSD's include Repetitive Strain
Injuries (RSI) and trauma. Antonio has worked with injured workers in outpatient
physical therapy for more than fifteen years, and with RSI especially, he
has noted the "vicious" cycle patients go through: often unnecessary
drug consumption, cortisone shots, and sometimes surgery. While these regimens
often help alleviate symptoms, they do not address the underlying cause-Habitual
Postural Misuse- which is the reason why symptoms often recur. Both RSI and
trauma can be prevented and reversed using The Alexander Technique (AT).
Antonio has had good results practising the Technique combined with physical
therapy in the clinic, however, once done with therapy, it is highly recommended
that patients continue with private AT lessons. Infact, many physicians with
knowledge of the Technique's benefits often prescribe the AT to their patients,
especially when all else has failed. Antonio believes it is the "missing
link". Indeed, the Technique can provide a powerful educational component
to the current healthcare system.
So
whether you are an injured worker, musician, actor or athlete caught
in the "vicious cycle" of pain, undue tension, stress and fatigue,
or suffering from side effects of medication and surgery, break out of
this cycle
and try The Alexander Technique.
