Repetitive Injuries
Whether you work at an office or a factory, most workers are assigned to repeat the same tasks day in and day out. These tasks may involve continuous typing, constant bending or repetitive lifting. The repetition of these tasks on a daily basis can lead to repetitive stress injury.
