When people think of "workplace accidents," they often imagine a slip or a fall. However, many workers, from office professionals to warehouse staff, suffer from injuries that happen slowly over time. These repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are just as valid for WSIB coverage, and they require specialized, expert care to resolve.
Milton Physiotherapy Plus is the top choice for workers dealing with overuse injuries. We are known for helping patients not only heal but also modify their workspace to prevent the injury from returning.
Recognizing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)
If your daily tasks involve repetitive lifting, typing, or standing, you may be eligible for WSIB-covered physiotherapy for:
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Numbness and tingling from repetitive wrist use.
-
Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow: Tendonitis caused by repetitive gripping or lifting.
-
Postural Strain: Chronic neck and shoulder pain from poor ergonomic setups.
-
Lower Back Wear and Tear: From consistent lifting or vibrating machinery.
