Strength and Conditioning of Upper Limb
for Repetitive Strain Injury
Progressive strengthening of the forearm, shoulder, and scapular stabiliser muscles builds the tissue tolerance needed to withstand repetitive work without developing RSI.
How it works
Increases tendon collagen density and cross-sectional area, raising load tolerance. Improved muscle endurance reduces fatigue-induced biomechanical compensations that overload vulnerable tendons.
What to watch for
Strengthening should be specifically targeted to the muscles relevant to the work task. A physiotherapist can prescribe a programme matched to the specific RSI presentation.
