Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is the name for a collection of symptoms which are due to overuse and repetitive strain on muscles and fascia and the connective tissues around muscles and joints. Common conditions which fall into the category of RSI include carpal tunnel syndrome, golfers’ elbow and tennis elbow. RSI conditions are typified by symptoms including chronic pain, especially at night, sharp and shooting nerve pains, inflammation, burning pain, tingling, numbness, pins and needles and a general loss of function, eg: inability to pick up a cup or pen.
Repetitive strain injury can be quite painful and cause crippling disability. Prevention and early treatment are the best ways to relieve the pain caused by RSI. Massage can reduce the discomfort and inflammation caused by repetitive strain injury, and can help prevent future injuries. Massage will allow for greater flexibility of the joints and muscles and can provide much needed relief from RSI. Repetitive strain injuries are a common affliction among millions of people. The use of massage therapy for treatment of RSI is quite effective.
