Find what's overloaded
Assessing the painful area, your posture and your movement patterns.
Repetitive strain injury can be an aching, burning or tingling from doing the same movement day after day. I'll treat the pain and help you change what's causing it.
Pain, aching or tenderness in your wrist, forearm, elbow or shoulder
Tingling, throbbing or cramp during or after repetitive tasks
Symptoms that build through the working week
Weakness or a reduced grip
RSI is an umbrella term for pain in muscles, tendons and nerves caused by repeated movements and overuse from faulty movement patterns. Computer work, manual and assembly jobs, musical instruments and some sports are common aggravating factors.
Posture, workstation set-up and too few breaks all play a part, so treatment works best alongside small changes to how you work or exercise.
Assessing the painful area, your posture and your movement patterns.
Soft tissue work, mobilisation and dry needling to reduce pain and tension. Deeper Neuromuscular work to treat the ultimate cause.
Education on movement and conditioning as well as specific strengthening exercises.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.
Will my health insurance cover it?
Most major insurers don't cover sports therapy, but some smaller providers that cover alternative therapies will refund your fees. Check with your insurer.
What should I wear?
No specific clothing is required
A rough description is plenty. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
