Overview | Treatment Protocol | Referral

RSI Solutions employs a three-layered treatment protocol, which is both safe and highly effective. The protocol includes therapeutic bodywork, a client education and awareness process, and a home selfcare-stretching program. It is the combination of these three facets of treatment, which make this protocol so powerful and effective.

This dynamic treatment protocol combines several different modalities including the structural bodywork of Hellerwork, the movement and ergonomic work of Judith Aston, the myofascial meridian work of Tom Myers, the Visceral Manipulation work of osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, and the self care stretches developed by Sharon Butler.

Therapeutic Bodywork
The bodywork is designed to release chronic tension, restrictions, and adhesions in the myofascial matrix of the muscular skeletal system. The work is focused on the torso, shoulder girdle, neck, arms and hands. The pathways of the nerves and blood vessels feeding the arms and hands receive special attention. As it is often restrictions and impingements of these vital structures which give rise to RSIs.

Multiple complimentary bodywork techniques are utilized in this protocol. They include structural integration, deep-tissue massage, myofascial release, neuromuscular reeducation, and low force functional release methods from the osteopathic tradition.

RSI Solutions believes proper alignment of the body in gravity is a key to relieving stress on the client's structure. To this end we utilize the principles and techniques of Hellerwork Structural Integration. As the body comes into alignment muscle tension is reduced, blood vessel and nerve pathways open, range of motion improves, and movement becomes more fluid.

Education/Awareness
Clients are taught the dynamics of RSIs, including the causal factors and prevention methods. Efficient posture and body mechanics are emphasized. Clients learn that body awareness is their first defense against RSIs. The ergonomics of the workstation and how to comfortably support our bodies while working are clearly explained. RSI Solutions believes education is the key to health and healing.

Self Care Programs
Each Client receives a selfcare-stretching program as part of the treatment process. Sharon Butler, author of "Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" has developed these programs. Clients are guided through a progressive stretching program, while they continue to learn more about their condition. These programs are tailored to the client's particular symptoms/syndrome and are extremely comprehensive.
