Summary:
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
. Learn to identify ergonomic risks that contribute to injury and reduce
knitting
efficiency. 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 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. A unique knit-along that will help make a more comfortable, lifelong knitter out of you. Carson Demers is a physical therapist with a specialization in
ergonomics
.
