Repetitive Strain Injuries

Repetitive strain injuries (or RSI) affect a wide range of people, and though can be considered a Sports Injury, they can also affect people from sedentary backgrounds as well. These injuries can occur when an area of the body becomes overloaded by a repetitive strain, eventually fails and becomes injured. RSIs (i.e. tennis elbow, golfers elbow, bursitis, tendon related injuries, etc.) are defined by NHS Choices as “a general term used to describe the pain from muscles, nerves and tendons caused by repetitive movement and overuse”.

When people suffer repetitive strain injuries it is important not just to examine the area affected, but to also understand the environment in which the overstrain has occurred. At The Spine & Sports Injury Clinic we not only assess the injury itself, but also take into account the patient’s lifestyle factors that may have contributed to their injury in the first place. We then plan your return to health and function, advising on what environmental factors should be modified to help the speed of recovery. We provide Osteopathy, Sports Therapy and  Sports Massage services to provide a solution and can use a mixture of treatment methods including:

• Soft Tissue Manipulation
• Manipulative Therapy
• Neuro Mobilisations
• Rehabilitation Exercise
• Core Training
• Modern Acupuncture
• Sports Taping
• Ultrasound Therapy

Our aim at The Spine & Sports Injury Clinic is to not only to address the pain issue a patient is suffering, but to also improve how people self manage their pain complaints by providing advice on lifestyle modification and home exercises. We also make a range of exercises easily available through our Exercise Library Page and lifestyle advice through our Lifestyle Advice Page.
