Understanding Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

The video tutorial explains repetitive strain injury (RSI), a disorder affecting muscles, tendons, and nerves due to repetitive and static movements. It describes the stages of RSI, from initial localized pain to severe, demobilizing pain. Prevention strategies include taking regular breaks and performing specific stretch exercises to improve blood circulation and reduce muscle strain. The video also provides detailed instructions on various stretching techniques to alleviate and prevent RSI symptoms.
