RSI from mouse Arm

Mouse arm is a well-known injury and also falls under the umbrella of RSI. A mouse arm is caused by excessive computer and/or laptop usage. In 2020, lots of folks were forced to work at home, and ergonomic desks were swapped for dining room tables. Working in this fashion for a short period is not a problem, but having an incorrect sitting posture for more than a year can cause all sorts of issues, including a mouse arm.

A mouse arm injury can manifest in muscle fatigue, drowsiness, tingling or numbness in the arm or wrist, and sometimes even neck and back pain.

There are several treatments for mouse arm, and our physiotherapists are specialised in all of them; they will come up with a custom plan that suits your needs. And remember, an essential part of the treatment of mouse arm is mobility, muscle relaxation and resting the affected arm or wrist.
