What is RSI? | Remedial Massage For RSI

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), as the name suggests, is a type of injury/pain that is caused by overuse of certain body parts or doing repetitive actions, too long, too often without taking sufficient breaks. The repetition of the same movements/actions causes damage to the muscles, nerves, tendon sheaths, tendons and other soft tissues which can result in severe pain.  Repetitive Strain Injury can happen suddenly or may take weeks, months or years to show up. Remedial Massage for RSI is extremely successful in reducing pain and restoring movement to the affected area. RSI is often linked to work-related activities where the same work/action is carried out repeatedly on a daily basis without proper rest or with poor posture.

• Soreness, tingling, or discomfort in arms, neck, shoulders, legs, or lower back
• Burning sensation or shooting pain in small restricted areas like the forearm or fingertips

• Fatigue and difficulty carrying out normal day-to-day tasks

These symptoms may appear all of a sudden and may disappear once you stop the action, or they may take a few days or weeks to dissipate.
