Identify, Prevent, and Manage Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Ask Your Physical Therapist How!

9/19/2018

0 Comments

 
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) occurs as a result of overuse or misuse of the body and it generally affects the upper extremities. It has been reported that approximately 60% of all occupational injuries can be attributed to RSI. This causes a significant decrease in productivity on a personal and professional level.
Causes
RSI usually occur in the fingers, elbows and wrists. The wrist joint experiences a great deal of stress as it is constantly used to perform simple tasks such as writing and typing. RSI is also quite common with musicians due to repetitive hand movements. ​
wrist Injury
Symptoms
The stress placed on the soft tissue (muscles, tendons, nerves, arteries and veins) of the extremities results in compression or entrapment as a result of inflammation. Common symptoms include:
  • Tingling
  • Pain
  • Stiff achy joints
  • Intermittent numbness
If left untreated, these symptoms can lead to serious conditions such as: 
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome CTS
  • Tendonitis
  • Tenosynovitis
  • Ganglionic cysts
Prevention is Better Than Cure
Strength training
The rule of thumb is to reduce further strain and rest the limb that is tingling, numb or hurting. It is important to identify the symptoms as early as possible and seek help.
​It is very common for athletes, musicians and writers to ignore the symptoms of RSI. In order to prevent further injury and the resulting disability of RSI, it is best to seek the advice of a physical therapist.

Prevention Tips
If you are engaged in ongoing, repetitive activity on the job or during sports and recreational activities, it is important to rest periodically from the task and take note of the following:
  • Massage the limbs and joints
  • Stretch the muscles
  • Maintain hydration
  • Look for signs of overuse
  • If symptoms get worse, seek a physical therapist without delay.
Physical Therapy Treatment
Conservative physical therapy management includes the following:
  • Strengthening the limbs and joints
  • Postural retraining
  • Bracing with the use of splints and wrist pads
  • Ergonomic intervention
  • Psychosocial rehabilitation
We Will Get You Back on Track... Always
The goal of physical therapy in RSI is to reduce pain, improve motion and restore strength. Since RSI is a chronic injury and develops over time (and is often ignored in the early stages), a physical therapy rehabilitation program is essential.
​It provides a long-term solution to prevent further injury and regain quality of life.

As your physical therapists, we know that daily life comes with its fair share of stress, and we don't want you to have to deal with yet another source of (physical) stress in the form of RSI. We are here to help you, and are committed to help you get better, faster.
Call us today at (516) 616-0942 to learn how we can help you
 recover from RSI and get you back on track with your job, and your life.

    We strongly believe that everyone should have a clear understanding of what's going on with their body rather that relying on medical professionals for every little thing.
