Drivers Help Yourself

This booklet is designed to help drivers combat the daily aches and pains they experience due to the demand of their occupation. One of the terms used for this problem is repetitive strain injury (RSI). This booklet attempts to solve the physical problem that drivers face each day but don’t take the necessary steps to solve them until they became unbearable. The lack of knowledge and understanding of the problem, and the lack of the know how to solve the problem is thought to be a major factor in advocating RSI. Although the government and the powers that be recognize the problem, I am afraid not enough priority is being given to this issue. This is the main reason and motivation behind the designing of this booklet. Therefore, this booklet has two main functions. The first function is to educate drivers about how their body is affected by their occupation as well as the specific soft tissues involved. The second function is an exercise program which is designed to specifically target those soft tissues affected by the occupation and give your body the balance, flexibility and strength it needs to complete the daily occupation safely. This book is also designed to be simple to understand and execute with safety being paramount. It is also designed to be flexible so that the exercises can be universal in a way that different age groups and fitness levels can use this program and still achieve desired target as well as having the options to progress with increased fitness.
