Repetitive strain is a common condition that is caused by rapid, repeated use of muscles and joints. While repetitive strains can happen in the neck and back, they more commonly occur in the extremities. Things like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis or golfers elbow as well as jumpers knee are all examples of repetitive strain injuries. Not just athletes are affected however, repetitive stain injuries commonly occur in the workplace (assembly line workers, dental hygienists, etc.) as well as in people’s personal lives through activities like video gaming, computer use, texting or knitting, can all be causes of repetitive strain injuries.
