RSI Clinics

It's been a long while, but we've finally done it. By April RSI Clinics will be a fully fledged company in its own right - RSI Clinics Ltd - with clinics in Brighton, East Sussex and London Harley Street. We are specialising in treating repetitive strain injury, hand and wrist pain, typing pain, texter's thumb, that sort of thing. Myofascial release and trigger point therapy are extremely effective in providing a sure and steady route to rehabilitation for repetitive strain injuries, and sometimes the improvement can be very swift.

4.7 million days work are lost in the UK alone due to RSI, and in a recent HSE (Health and Safety Executive) survey, 57% of respondents had experienced what we recognize as RSI symptoms in the last year although very few had taken time off work - they just soldiered on, hoping it would go away. As we know, it tends not to.

All our staff are fully trained in MFR, having done the advanced courses with us, and are receiving ongoing training in the application of RSI and trigger point therapy to RSI problems. Of course, RSI can occur anywhere in the body, but we are focusing on the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands and fingers first, which is probably one of the most common types of RSI.
