Physical activity is,generally speaking, good for us. However, when specific muscles are used repeatedly, day after day, you can end up with an injury. These activities can seem minimal, such as entering data on a keyboard or using a scissors to cut hair. Usually, repetitive strain injuries are occupational in origin but they can also result from repetitive motions in sports or certain hobbies too.
Usually, it is time to seek medical advice when you feel numbness or tingling in your arms or hands or have constant pain for a week or more. Your health care professional can tailor a plan for you depending on what symptoms you have and if there is any swelling or inflammation.
