What's usually behind it

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.

How I treat RSI

1

Find what's overloaded

Assessing the painful area, your posture and your movement patterns.

2

Ease the symptoms

Soft tissue work, mobilisation and dry needling to reduce pain and tension. Deeper Neuromuscular work to treat the ultimate cause.

3

Change the pattern

Education on movement and conditioning as well as specific strengthening exercises.
