I could see how strength training would help but seems like it might just irritate an area that was already prone to injury. I enjoy my avocation as a musician and fear that I may eventually sacrifice mobility in my hand. I would appreciate any suggestions. By the way, I figure that I have tuned about 12,000 pianos. Could this be the beginning of the end? I hope not. Dave Bunch >> Dave, I haven't tuned nearly as many pianos as you but I have had problems with chronic tendonitis. I finally got some amazing results with acupuncture. You have to be careful though, not all practitioners are the same. I got lucky and found someone who knew what he was doing and cleared me up in no time and keeps me clear once a month. Give it a try. Andrew Remillard
