This book was a lifesaver for me. The author's practical knowledge of working in a dental operatory gives her the unique ability to tailor advice for dentists and dental staff. This will add years to my practice!
Ms. Valachi documented both clinical and scientific findings(research) in dealing with the musculoskeletal pain/syndrome whichis the primary cause of disability among the dental professional. She stresses that the musculoskeletal pain is work-related in that the cumulation of repetitive micro-traum caused by the repetitive strain, body movements awkward posturing contribute to the musculiskeletal disorders.In my humble opinion, this is a must book for dental professionals in understanding, preventing and managing the musculoskeletal disorders which are the most common chronic pain and the primary cause of disability of dental professionals.Kind regards,Jim Tanaka DDSRichmond, B.C.

I found the additional material in the book to be helpful in fully understanding the content of her live C.E. courses.She obviously has a good depth of knowledge in her field. I think the book is slightly overpriced but valuable.
Excellent information
