An overuse injury occurs when our tissue can no longer handle the repetitive forces that occur throughout our daily lives. These can happen from our job, our sport, our hobbies or other daily activities. We typically like to think that these injuries occur by dynamic movements, like squatting, overhead work, running etc. however, static posture can also put repetitive strain on our tissue. Long hours of sitting can affect our hips and lower back, looking down all day at a computer can affect our neck, shoulders and upper back. These static posture positions can create the same strain as dynamic movements.
