I am sorry Robert, but coming from someone who has had to deal with these
issues - that's a really ignorant thing to suggest. (Care to pull out your
physiotherapists degree?)

She gets her information from people like me, not trying to sell anything
actually.. Usually paying through the nose when my medical plan doesn't
cover a treatment or painkillers. Do you also believe that Ergonomically
designed keyboards are a waste too? Do you think that a computer keyboard is
some ingeniously designed tool that is capable of fitting every single
person on the planet's needs?

I am really confused how you could say something like that, oh wait.. Maybe
I am just "imagining" the pain in my wrists and elbows and shoulders??
