“I would highly recommend. I went here as I was dealing with an injury from a bike running into me and injuring my leg. I was unable to walk or run very far after the accident.  After about a month and a half of treatments I am able to run +5 Km without any more pain. Couldn’t ask for better service and expertise.”

Repetitive Stress Injury

What is a repetitive stress injury?

A repetitive stress injury is any type of injury that occurs due to overuse or improper use. Often this is caused by the trauma sustained from highly repetitive careers, such as computer programmers, accountants and gamers. The disorders also can affect those who engage in range of activities, from gardening to golf. Repetitive stress injuries include carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, epicondylitis, ganglion cyst, tenosynovitis, and trigger finger.

Symptoms of Repetitive Stress Injuries

This disorder can be characterized by pain, tingling, numbness, swelling, decrease in flexibility and a decrease of strength in the affected area. For some individuals, there may be no visible sign of injury but they may struggle to perform easy task. If left untreated, repetitive stress injuries can cause temporary or permanent damage to the soft tissues in the body.

Brentwood Physiotherapy Repetitive Stress Injury

The Best Repetitive Stress Injury Physiotherapists in Calgary

Brentwood Physiotherapy has a team of physiotherapists in Calgary with experience and expertise in the treatment of repetitive stress injuries. Each of our registered physiotherapists have been specializing in treating repetitive stress injuries for 25+ years. We utilize the latest evidence based exercises and treatments to manage symptoms of repetitive stress injuries. Our effective personalized physiotherapy treatment programs will first focus on relieving symptoms, and then on strengthening exercises that will enable the patient to return to daily activities and work tasks. Most individuals with these injuries recover completely and can avoid re-injury by changing the way they perform repetitive movements, the frequency with which they perform them, and the amount of time they rest between movements. Without physiotherapy treatments, repetitive stress injuries may result in permanent injury and complete loss of function in the affected area. There are no quick fixes or home remedies, but with Brentwood Physiotherapy, patients can expect treatments to relieve symptoms, prevent future injuries and return to living their life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions

RSIs like carpal tunnel or tennis elbow often stem from repetitive tasks common in Calgary office jobs. Typing, construction, and even winter activities like snow shoveling can lead to strain. Poor ergonomics in set ups at work and long Deerfoot Trail commutes (gripping the steering wheel) increase the risk. We provide repetitive strain injury physiotherapy to address these issues and prevent further damage.

We offer a range of treatments for carpal tunnel physiotherapy, tennis elbow and other repetitive strain injuries, including ergonomic assessments for home and office setups, dry needling for forearm and shoulder tension, activity modification plans tailored to Calgary jobs (trades, tech, healthcare), and shockwave therapy for chronic tendonitis.

Most Calgary patients see improvement in 3–4 weeks, while chronic cases (e.g., long-term keyboard users) may take 8–12 weeks. If you're wondering how long physio for RSI takes, it depends on severity, but we focus on functional goals like pain-free typing or lifting hockey gear for Winsport leagues.

Yes! Cold weather increases muscle stiffness, making RSIs worse. Our approach to cold weather repetitive strain prevention includes warm-up routines for winter shoveling or trades work, compression sleeve recommendations, and indoor exercise plans to keep muscles flexible and pain-free.

Yes! Most private insurers, including Manulife and Alberta Blue Cross, cover insurance for RSI physiotherapy. We direct bill 99% of insurance companies and work with WCB claims for work-related repetitive strain injuries.

While ergonomic gadgets can help, our clinic aims to be the best RSI clinic Calgary residents trust for lasting relief. We focus on biomechanical assessments of typing and posture, sport-specific rehab for golfers, hockey players, and cyclists, and collaborations with local ergonomic stores for discounted equipment.

Absolutely! We offer home office RSI prevention Calgary workers need through virtual ergonomic assessments via video call. We analyze desk height for Brentwood condo dwellers, monitor positioning to reduce neck strain, and create stretching routines to break up long Zoom meetings.

Yes! Our musician RSI treatment Calgary programs help local guitarists, drummers, painters, and sculptors. We provide wrist stabilization exercises, instrument-specific posture adjustments, and recovery plans tailored around festival seasons like Folk Fest to keep artists pain-free.

Our carpal tunnel diagnosis Calgary physiotherapists use nerve conduction tests, grip strength analysis, and provocative maneuvers like Phalen’s test to differentiate carpal tunnel from De Quervain’s or tendonitis, ensuring you get the right treatment for your condition.
