Description
"Imagine being told you have to stop knitting because of discomfort in your hands, arms, neck, or back. Imagine the sense of frustration and the longing to get the needles back in your hands. Imagine the lingering doubt you might have when you can pick them up again: "What was I doing wrong after all these years of knitting?" "Will I get hurt again?" "Will I have to stop knitting forever to make this pain go away?" Maybe you'd like to be a faster, more efficient knitter, or a knitter who produces more projects, but you're not sure what's getting in the way. This book will help you understand the ergonomics of knitting so you can improve your safety, efficiency, and productivity in knitting. You'll learn to identify ergonomic risks that contribute to injury and reduce knitting efficiency. Throughout the book, you'll be provided with activities and guidance to improve your knitting ergonomics so you can knit more confidently and comfortably. Through instruction in stretches, exercise, and self-care, you'll also learn how to manage the discomfort common to knitters before it becomes an injury, and how to recognize when it's time to seek help from a health-care professional." - Webs
