What Exactly Is A Repetitive Motion Injury?
Repetitive motion injuries develop slowly over time. You may not even realize that the job you are performing is having an effect on your health before it is too late.

Common Repetitive Motion Injuries
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most commonly recognized repetitive motion injury. It can develop while typing every day in an office or by doing other repetitive tasks with your hands at work.
This is not the only type of injury that can happen as a result of repetitive motion, however. Repetitive motion can also result in:
- Lower back pain and spinal injuries
- Tendonitis, bursitis and other joint injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Vascular injuries
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Damage to hearing or eyesight
