Physiotherapy and Graded Exercise
for Repetitive Strain Injury
Physiotherapy addresses the specific tissue injury in RSI — whether tendon, nerve, or muscle — through targeted strengthening, manual therapy, and graded return to full activity.
How it works
Progressive loading of affected tendons (forearm extensors, rotator cuff) stimulates collagen remodelling. Neural mobilisation reduces the neural tension and sensitivity driving referred symptoms.
What to watch for
RSI prognosis worsens significantly with delayed treatment. Early physiotherapy intervention prevents progression to severe chronic RSI. Regular movement breaks (every 20–30 minutes) are essential adjuncts.
