Repetitive strain injuries or RSIs are injuries to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions.
How does it happen? Repetitive strain injury and tendinitis happen when you repeat a motion frequently on tight tissues and when the rate of damage exceeds your body’s natural rate of repair.
Inflammation, muscle strain, and tendinitis can be greatly reduced through the use of massage. Therapeutic massage can be used to prevent injury that is caused by muscle strain and unnatural movements.
Muscle cramps, aching shoulders, and muscle tightness can be relieved through the use of therapeutic massage. Some massage techniques eliminate muscle pain by stretching and kneading the muscles directly while other massage techniques stimulate the nervous system, allowing the muscles to relax.
