Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)

Repetitive stress injuries (RSI) have long been a concern, causing discomfort and pain due to inflammation in muscles, tendons, and nerves. However, the shift to widespread remote work amid the COVID-19 era has introduced a new dimension to this issue. With millions now working from home in environments that may not be ergonomically optimized, the risk of RSI has heightened. These injuries can impact various areas of the body, but they are particularly prevalent in the upper extremities, back, and neck.

As individuals adapt to new work setups and routines, it’s crucial to be mindful of ergonomic practices and seek support if experiencing symptoms of RSI to prevent further discomfort and promote overall well-being.

If you have an RSI, reach out to our Honolulu, Hawaii office or easily schedule an appointment today.
