Thanks, this was precisely the type of information for which I was looking. I knew that it was an imbalance of some type, and I felt the top of my forearm when you mentioned it and I could feel a knot right there.

thanks again!

I think there’s definitely something in the Qigong ball approach – or least in ensuring you regularly exercise you fingers in a different way to playing the guitar. In my day job, I used to be a journalist and spent a lot of time at the keyboard by day and the fretboard by night. I found nearly all of my colleagues in work, and my fellow musicians, had some form of RSI in their arms or hands – but I (touch wood) never have. I always put it down to the fact that I used my hands in two very different ways, so they got all round exercise instead of just one repetitive exercise.

Great blog btw – I will buy you a beer next time I’m on (honest!)
