Symptoms Of Repetitive Strain
RSI is an umbrella term that includes many different types of overuse/ over load injury and depending on the activities you perform can affect tendon, muscle and nerve structures in any region of the body.
The most commonly recognised repetitive strain injuries are at the elbow, wrist, and hand. They can include, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and iPhone hand.
Treatment With Physiotherapy
Many groups of working people can be affected, including computer operators, typists, musicians, shop staff and factory workers. Our Physios are trained and experienced in treating muscle, nerve, joint and ligament complaints. After assessing the affected person’s posture, workplace, lifestyle and work patterns, they will devise a treatment programme.
This may include stretching exercises, mobilisation and electrotherapy, such as ultrasound, to speed up the healing process. If treatment is delayed, RSI can take longer to clear up. Our Physios can also give preventive advice.
RSI can also occur frequently in sports; some examples include Achilles Tendonitis or Tennis Elbow. Please click here for other soft tissue injuries.
