Repetitive Strain Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) are conditions that develop from repetitive movements, overuse, or prolonged poor posture, often linked to work or lifestyle habits. These injuries affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, typically in the upper limbs but can also impact the neck, back, and lower body.
RSIs are particularly common in people who spend long hours typing, using handheld devices, performing manual tasks, or engaging in repetitive sports activities. Without early treatment, symptoms can become chronic and interfere with daily life and work performance.
What Do Repetitive Strain Injuries Cause?
RSIs can cause a range of symptoms that may worsen over time if untreated. These include:
- Pain or aching in the affected area
- Stiffness or reduced mobility in joints or muscles
- Weakness or fatigue when performing repetitive tasks
- Numbness or tingling indicating nerve involvement
- Loss of grip strength or reduced function in the hands or wrists
- Difficulty completing work or daily activities due to discomfort
Common RSIs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff injuries.

Highly recommend.
I had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life and sleep. After trying various treatments with little success, I visited caregate clinics, where Raj recommended shockwave therapy. The results were amazing!

Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
