by their publications, are very involved in RSI prevention and treatment.
They suggest that individuals with RSI symptoms call Health Touch One

Patient Recommendation
One of the treatment methods that I have been most impressed with is the
McKenzie approach to physical therapy. In order to be credentialed in this
treatment approach the therapist has to complete 4 continuing ed courses and
take a credentialing exam. I checked the credentialed therapist list and
there is only one credentialed therapist in Nebraska. I do not know him
personally but have found that people with this training are generally
excellent clinicians. You may want to speak with him. His info is given as:
