Oooh, this man is evil.
I like that.

  I wouldn't say this discussion is OT.

  I would say it has more to do with PT.

    I've done Alexander technique, but I'm not an instrumentalist so I'm not 
sure how useful my experience would be. I found it enormously helpful in 
several ways (not the least of them being that it brought my height from 
5-7-1/4 to 5-8). I'm considering acupuncture for my neck, hand and arm pain, 
all of which is computer related. I'd like to hear more, although this is 
rather OT, isn't it.
