Repetitive strain injury is common in heavy computer users, and the symptoms include swollen, stiff or sore fingers, hands and wrists, where pain and other symptoms occur in an area of the body which has done repetitive tasks (often arms or hands).
The symptoms can be severe an can sometimes force a user to leave their job.

The symptoms can be reduced by:
• Consult with your physiotherapist
• Taking regular breaks from the keyboard.
• Typing in the correct manner(not hitting the keys to hard)
• Using a wrist support to ensure your wrist/hand is correctly
aligned.
• Using an ergonomic keyboard.

With a change in your working practive, i.e. how you support yourself at the computer keyboard, or adapt other repetitive activities, physio therapy can have effective results with RSI. Pain relief can be achieved fairly quickly.

Is Smartphone Use Causing Your Neck Pain?

A person's stance while texting could be putting 27 kilograms of strain on their neck.

Virtually unheard of two years ago, “text neck” is a repetitive strain injury that’s becoming more common as more people hunch over smartphones. Aggravating muscle pain in the neck and shoulders, and sometimes lower back, is occurring even in teens and adolescents.

What are the symptoms associated with text neck?

Text neck most commonly causes neck pain and soreness. In addition, looking down at your cell phone too much each day can lead to:
• Upper back pain ranging from a chronic, nagging pain to sharp, severe upper back muscle spasms.
• Shoulder pain and tightness, possibly resulting in painful shoulder muscle spasm.
• If a cervical nerve becomes pinched, pain and possibly neurological symptoms can radiate down your arm and into your hand.

How is text neck treated?

First, prevention is key. Here are several pieces of advice for preventing the development or advancement of text neck:
• Hold your cell phone at eye level as much as possible. The same holds true for all screens—laptops and tablets should also be positioned so the screen is at eye level and you don't have to bend your head forward or look down to view it.

• Take frequent breaks from your phone and laptop throughout the day. For example, set a timer or alarm that reminds you to get up and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes.

• If you work in an office, make sure your screen is set up so that when you look at it you are looking forward, with your head positioned squarely in line with your shoulders and spine.
Next, rehabilitation is important. For more specific exercise consult with you physiotherapist.
