Repetitive    strain    injuries    are    among    the    most    common injuries   in   the   UK.   All   of   these   disorders   are   made   worse   by the repetitive actions of daily living. Repetitive   motion   injuries   make   up   over   50%   of   all   athletic- related   injuries   seen   by   doctors   and   result   in   huge   losses   in terms   of   cost   to   the   workforce.   Simple   everyday   actions,   such as   throwing   a   ball,   scrubbing   a   floor,   or   jogging,   can   lead   to this condition. Repetitive   motion   disorders   develop   because   of   microscopic tears   in   the   tissue.   When   the   body   is   unable   to   repair   the tears     in     the     tissue     as     fast     as     they     are     being     made, inflammation occurs, leading to the sensation of pain.
