Repetitive motion injuries are among the most common injuries in the United States. Repetitive motions, such as computer keyboarding or running, can result in cumulative trauma causing muscle strains and tendonitis, such as plantar fasciitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. These overuse injuries make up over 50% of all athletic-related injuries seen by health care providers and result in huge losses in terms of cost to the workforce.

The disorders are often characterized by pain, tingling, numbness, visible swelling or redness of the affected area, and the loss of flexibility and strength. We at Atlas can help treat the symptons and correct the underlying cause of such injuries by using specific therapuetic exercises, massage, gentle stretching and manual therapy, and perhaps most importantly, patient education.
