Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Treatment
Repetitive strain injury can develop slowly and become surprisingly stubborn, but early, targeted treatment can stop it from holding you back at work or in sport. Because RSI builds up gradually, many patients delay seeking help until symptoms are already affecting daily tasks.
How RSI Feels
RSI often presents as an aching or burning sensation in the hands, wrists, forearms or shoulders, sometimes with tingling, weakness or stiffness that worsens with repetitive tasks such as typing, using a mouse, or manual work.
Common Causes We Treat
Prolonged computer use, poor workstation setup, repetitive manual tasks and inadequate recovery time between activities are the most frequent causes we see, often made worse by tension elsewhere in the neck and shoulders.
Assessment & Treatment
We assess the affected area alongside your posture, movement patterns and daily habits, since RSI is rarely caused by the wrist or hand alone.
Reducing Irritation and Pain
Soft tissue therapy, stretch therapy and, where suitable, chiropractic treatment help reduce local irritation and ease tension feeding into the affected area.
Preventing It From Returning
We also provide clear, practical advice on workstation setup, movement breaks and technique, so the changes you make actually stick once treatment finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can RSI be fully resolved, or will it keep coming back?
With the right combination of treatment and changes to how you work, most people see lasting improvement, though ongoing awareness of posture and movement breaks helps prevent recurrence.
Do I need to stop working while being treated?
Usually not, though we may recommend temporary adjustments to how you work, such as more frequent breaks or a different mouse position, alongside treatment.
What treatment is most effective for RSI?
This depends on the area affected, but soft tissue therapy, stretch therapy and chiropractic treatment are commonly combined with practical ergonomic advice.
How quickly should I seek treatment if I think I have RSI?
Early treatment tends to produce faster, more straightforward results, so it is worth booking an assessment as soon as symptoms start affecting your daily tasks.
