Overuse Injuries and RSI Treatment
Overuse injuries can happen at any joint or muscle in your body. They usually occur when you change your activity level or when your tissues aren’t strong enough to cope with the demands placed on them. These injuries commonly develop from repetitive work activities or repeated actions in sports.
Whether you’ve developed a stress fracture, injured yourself during sport, or aggravated an arthritic condition, osteopathy can help resolve your pain and restore normal function.
At Cameron-Mitchell Osteopaths, we are experts in diagnosing and treating overuse injuries. We’ll provide you with a clear diagnosis, treatment plan, and self-care advice to get you better and prevent future problems.

What your pain feels like
Pain varies depending on the cause and area affected. You might experience aching, burning, tingling, numbness, heaviness, or weakness. Pain might be sharp and movement is often limited. Overuse injuries usually affect your everyday activities and get worse during the activities that caused them.
Overuse Injuries and RSI Pain
We start by working out what’s causing your discomfort using standard tests to assess your joints and muscles. We then create a treatment plan tailored to your specific overuse injury.
Our osteopathic treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring normal movement, and strengthening the affected tissues. We use hands-on techniques including soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation.
We’ll prescribe specific exercises for you to do at home and give you advice on improving your posture and modifying activities that contributed to your injury. Our approach addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes.

I first saw Duncan, two years ago, when I had a very painful shoulder and had to work at an event where I would be using my arms and shoulders all the time. Duncan treated me and managed to get me through the event which was nothing short of a miracle. Since then both my father and my brother-in-law have also become patients of Duncan and found his services to be exceptional. Duncan is both friendly and entirely professional and I would be happy to recommend his services to anyone.
I had two sessions with Duncan which were incredibly beneficial and helped to ease my lower back pain. I found Duncan to be professional and informative and you can tell he really cares about what he practices. I highly recommend his practice for anybody who’s experiencing pain!
I was suffering with a combination of shoulder, back and knee issues which Duncan got to grips with, alleviating the discomfort and leaving me feeling reinvigorated and refreshed. I’d definitely recommend giving him a go. I found the treatment more effective than some acupuncture and physiotherapy i’d had in the past.
