RSI
Tendon problems in the forearm wrist and hand are currently
banded together under the heading Repetitive Strain Injury.
Whilst this relatively, new, name accurately describes the
cause of the problem an accurate diagnosis needs to be made
to determine which tendon is affected. RSI occurs when the
patient is doing the same repetitive action over and over
again during a working day. If their posture is wrong or
they are putting undue strain on the body a RSI may develop.
Usually RSI only develops in people who have tight connective
tissue and are unable to allow the body to accommodate the
new activity without causing pain.
TREATMENT
Treatment with Manual Lymph Drainage
and Connective Tissue Manipulation reduces
the tension in the connective tissue in the area, improves
the circulation and settles the inflammation. See Golfers
Elbow, Tennis Elbow, Tendon
Injury.
