Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) develops from repetitive movements, overuse or sustained posture. It commonly affects the wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders and neck. Tingling fingers, weak grip, aching forearms, thumb‑side wrist pain, or stiffness that doesn’t ease after work are all classic RSI signs.
You don’t need a crisis, a diagnosis or a dramatic event for RSI to appear — it often builds quietly. Work deadlines, running a business, family responsibilities, constant demands. You keep going, but your body starts showing the signs: tight shoulders, a stiff neck, tense jaw, forearms that feel overworked, or an upper back that feels like it’s carrying everything else.
I provide assessment‑based remedial treatment backed by 26 years of experience and strong client reviews, available in Belturbet and onsite across Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim and Fermanagh.
What it's for :
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand and fingers
- Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow — pain on the inside or outside of the elbow from gripping or lifting
- Tendonitis — inflammation and pain in wrist, elbow or shoulder tendons
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis — thumb‑side wrist pain from repetitive hand movements
- Grip Weakness — difficulty holding, lifting or carrying due to tendon or nerve irritation
- Trigger Finger — locking or catching when bending the finger
If repetitive work, posture or daily tasks are causing ongoing pain, stiffness or weakness, this service is designed to address RSI‑related problems directly.
What This Treatment Involves
RSI isn’t just inflammation — it’s a pattern of muscle tension, tight fascia and restricted movement that builds over time. Repetition overloads specific muscles and tendons, posture compresses nerves, and overuse reduces blood flow to soft tissue. The result is pain, stiffness, weakness and reduced function.
Each session begins with a detailed assessment to identify what’s driving your symptoms — not just where the pain is felt. I look at movement patterns, muscle tension, tendon loading, nerve irritation and posture demands from your work or daily routine.
Treatment uses remedial and deep tissue techniques to release tight muscle, reduce tendon strain, improve blood flow, restore joint movement and calm irritated nerves. It’s practical, hands‑on, results‑driven treatment aimed at reducing pain and restoring normal function.
