RSI: Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Pain

Training Your Body Right!

At the end of the day, it is important to simply be mindful of the ways in which you are using your shoulders, elbows, and wrists. If your sport or work requires repetitive heavy lifting, reaching, or swinging, a physical therapist can help you determine the best techniques to allow for as little strain as possible. Common issues that can lead to shoulder, wrist and elbow pain include: • Issues with poor posture.

• Carpal tunnel syndrome, which can develop from overuse of the wrist and regular, repetitive motions, such as typing.

• Heavy lifting.

• Athletic injuries.

• Muscle sprain.

A physical therapist can also help you strengthen your muscles in order to accommodate for your physically demanding lifestyle. This will help make frequent daily chores, as well as strenuous, repetitive motions, much easier. By doing some basic exercises just a few times a week, you can strengthen the range of muscles in your rotator cuff region. Your physical therapist can also provide manual techniques for relief, such as targeted massage, pressure, and stretching of the affected area(s) to keep muscles loose and to relieve inflammation. If you are experiencing shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain (or you think you may be at risk for developing a shoulder injury), give our office a call today. At Repair Sports Institute, we are dedicated to providing our patients with quality treatment plans and long-lasting relief.
