One of his most interesting theories is that diffuse or non-specific RSI doesn’t really exist but is a result of inaccurate diagnosis. The treatment programme in his RECOUP clinic in Bangalore is multidisciplinary: a combination of physiotherapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, physical exercises and many other aspects. It’s a full-time program of 8-13 weeks, by which time he claims to achieve a 95% success rate for both chronic and non-chronic RSI.

Speaker: Diederick van den Berg Diederick has suffered from RSI since 2005, and was severely restricted by the condition for 2.5 years. During this period he did everything he could to recover and even travelled to India to undergo a three-month treatment programme after hearing about RECOUP. Since his treatment he has been able to resume his education full-time. He went back to RECOUP in December 2011 for another month after a slight relapse. You can read about Diederick’s experiences during his first visit in Bengaluru.
