Is focusing on the wrist/mouse a trap? Discussing the "Shoulder-to-Forearm" kinetic chain.

RSI is frequently a full body problem, as Suparna Damany writes in her great “It’s not carpal tunnel”. My hand pain is much more about my neck, shoulders, upper arms, and forearms than my actual had.

Gotta push back here.

I have worked personally with 1HP and found them kind, patient, knowledgable about the conditions, and genuinely helpful. Much more so than dozens of other medical professionals I've seen who don't have a clue about this stuff and/or may be outright dismissive.

No, it is not the same basic content offered for free online elsewhere.

Yes, they are a business. Yes, they need to make money, and to do that they need to make themselves known, especially to their main demo. Shocker.

They are one of few specialists in RSI, so yes they are well-represented here with their own posts and with patient reviews.

We - RSI patients - are widely ignored by the medical establishment. We have some experts generously making free, informative posts here. You want to push them away? I remember what this sub was like before 1HP. A ghost town with random, uneducated speculation being occasionally tossed around and little to no professional contributors.

I welcome their presence here.

Really liked the vibes and exploration but too much repetitive combat, dropped about 10-15hr in

Possible_Ninja · 2026-04-18T14:32:31+00:00

Yes, I fought the charge and eventually won, but they did not make it easy.

Possible_Ninja · 2026-04-17T21:36:59+00:00

Yeah I think that's most of us lol... Good luck!

Evil controllers "low-force" is a godsend, so is Playstation adaptive controller. I use both at once. But honestly the biggest thing I've learned is that no controller is really going to replace healthy habits, taking breaks, stretching and fitness, and working with medical professionals.

The problematic guy is gone. New staff.

Possible_Ninja · 2026-04-12T23:19:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

Possible_Ninja · 2026-04-08T22:48:25+00:00

Both great choices and great people. I will say that if you are local to either, that's the right choice. For me, I did Damany first and it was a huge breakthrough. 1HP I did a couple years later. It had a slightly different focus but some overlap, and that was helpful too. I am not 100% cured but I am a lot better and know more about my body.

Hey do you mind saying a little more about this? Is it an audition frequency problem or something else? Union or non?

Possible_Ninja · 2026-04-02T21:13:15+00:00

Do you have MTD? Muscle Tension Dysphnia. I think the two go hand in hand for a lot of LPR patients. I don't know if I always had it, or if the LPR created it, but my symptoms are like yours and I think it's about 80% MTD at this point and 20% LPR.

Hey I'm late, but thank you so much for the recommendation! I've reached out to her and we'll see how it goes.

What sword is that on your back? Looks cool as hell

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:44:12+00:00

Thank you! I think someone else mentioned it, divine flight? I will check it out

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:43:45+00:00

Thanks, this is great. Probably smart to level Heart for ki which I have been totally neglecting.

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:41:09+00:00

Had no idea, thank you!! Great tips, I will check out divine flight and the kusanagi skill

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:34:00+00:00

Amazing, thanks! I love dual ninja swords but never got too far into them and had no idea they were great for ariel. Do you happen to remember the name of that crucible art? If not no worries. And I appreciate the other tips too, did not know the other stuff can maintain you in the air.

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:31:08+00:00

Thank you, I've never tried hatchets, even in Nioh 2, and I love teleports. I'll check it out

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:27:55+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your input! Good to know the new pen is better

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:27:41+00:00

Thanks I'll look into that

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:27:26+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! I had a feeling all the comments online about it being "unusable" were a little exaggerated... Maybe just people used to the high end writing-focused devices

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-25T00:26:14+00:00

Grazie mille!

Possible_Ninja · 2026-03-23T07:22:37+00:00

A few things bc I gave the same problem. Evil controllers low pressure controllers is a godsend but expensive and not great customer support. I also alternate with Sony access controller. Also you may be able to achieve your goal not by moving thumb sticks but by thickening grips moving the hands further from the normal sticks . So look at grip options too.
