RSI - The neck injury of the commercial sector

It is becoming more common for people that work in the commercial sector to suffer from neck and back injuries such as repetitive strain injury (RSI). This causes pain to the upper limbs when they are used frequently.

Office workers such as data entry operatives are particularly prone to RSI since they sit at their desks for long periods with a fixed posture and work mostly with their elbows bent while they type or read documents. Holding the head in a fixed position while looking at a computer screen for most of the day can also aggravate a neck injury.

The longer you are subjected to repetitive strain the worse the pain to the arms, neck and shoulders can become. The pain is usually present when carrying out the repetitive activities but as the condition worsens individuals may also experience pain when they rest, leaving them unable to do everyday tasks such as carrying the shopping home. Sufferers may also experience stiffness and numbness from the wrist, through the arm and up to the shoulder and neck.
