Many problems are related to work, whether it is a computer terminal or heavy industry. Sports and hobbies can also give rise to RSI conditions in the muscles, tendons and joints, particularly in the back, arms and hands, these include tennis elbow, golfers elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints and thoracic outlet syndrome. Exercise and advice (ergonomic and postural) help prevent any re-occurrence. The osteopathic approach is always to remove the cause as well as the symptoms.
