COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES

Because there is no cure for RSI, chronic sufferers may find complementary therapies also help to relieve symptoms. They include:

  • Massages - to help relax your upper body muscles and tissues.

  • Osteopathy - a treatment that focuses on your skeleton and muscles.

  • Chiropractic - a method using your body structure, particularly your spine, to ease symptoms.

  • Kinesiology - oriental medicines are used to help restore your body's energy flow and balance.

  • Alexander technique - is a method that works to change your movement habits in your everyday activities, helping to make you aware of balance, posture and co-ordination.

  • Feldenkrais method - is similar to the Alexander technique but focuses less on specific body positions.

  • Acupuncture - is a traditional Chinese treatment method that is often used to relieve pain and restore balance to your life force.

  • Shiatsu - is a traditional Japanese technique often described as 'finger pressure' therapy, which is a form of massage that applies pressure to energy lines using fingers, thumbs, and elbows.

  • Reflexology - is a foot message of Chinese origin that has been said to improve blood circulation and help to relax you.
