REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY (RSI)

Massage is the systematic manipulation of soft tissue using a form of touch therapy, which promotes comfort and relaxation. It is therefore likely to provide some relief from the symptoms of RSI. Massage therapists use the sensitivity of their hands, clients' report of symptoms and range-of-movement exercises to detect tissue damage.

Massage therapy on the whole is a safe and non-invasive technique. Deep tissue massage works to release tension and stimulate circulation of the blood and lymph to improve the supply of oxygen and removal of waste products. Massaging the neck and shoulders can prevent further problems building up in the hand and arms and the general loosening up of muscles can help with the flexibility needed for other forms of exercise. Massage therapists can also use trigger point therapy. Stretching and strengthening of muscles are crucial in improving your condition.

Treatment alone may initially relieve the pain, but individuals then need to make changes to working habits and general lifestyle.

Our staff our experts here at Vibes Fitness and are here to help you make these changes and devise a recovery plan that best suits your situation.

Working habits include:
* pacing the work,
* taking regular rest breaks and
* working at an ergonomically designed workstation.

General lifestyle may include:
* being positive,
* relaxing,
* taking regular exercise,
* following a healthy diet
