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.
