Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Specialized Treatments
It starts as a dull ache—barely noticeable. A stiff wrist, a sore shoulder, tension in your forearm. But over time, the discomfort grows louder, showing up in every keystroke, every grip, every reach. Repetitive Strain Injury doesn’t just affect your body—it impacts your work, your focus, and your sense of ease.
What is Repetitive Strain
Injury (RSI) Massage?
RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) is a condition caused by repeated movements or overuse of certain muscles and tendons, often from activities like typing, using a mouse, lifting, or repetitive manual tasks. It leads to pain, stiffness, tingling, weakness, or inflammation, usually in the hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, or neck.
Common types of RSI include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Tendonitis
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
Trigger finger
It typically develops gradually and worsens over time if not addressed. Proper ergonomics, rest, and treatments like massage or physical therapy can help reduce symptoms and prevent long-term damage.
How RSI Massage Helps
Specialized Treatments
Improves Blood Circulation
Better blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the affected areas, speeding up the body’s natural healing process.
Releases Tension in Overworked Muscles
Massage helps loosen tight, fatigued muscles that have been overused from repetitive tasks, restoring comfort and flexibility.
Reduces Inflammation
Gentle, targeted pressure can calm inflamed tissues and decrease swelling, helping reduce pain and discomfort.
Supports Tissue Repair
By increasing circulation and relieving tension, massage encourages regeneration of strained or damaged soft tissue.
Promotes Relaxation and Healing
RSI massage soothes the nervous system, lowers stress, and creates the ideal environment for the body to recover.
What to Expect
Our RSI massage focuses on relieving pain from overused muscles caused by repetitive motions—common in desk jobs, manual work, or sports. Expect deep tissue techniques, trigger point release, and gentle stretching to reduce tension, improve mobility, and promote healing. Some areas may feel tender, but you’ll leave feeling looser and more balanced. Aftercare tips may be provided to support long-term recovery.

This massage is ideal if you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, or numbness from repetitive movements—like typing, lifting, or long hours on your feet. If your work or lifestyle puts constant strain on certain muscles, this treatment can help restore comfort and function.
