What is a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) and Easy Home Hacks To Help You With RSI

Repetitive stress injuries are also known as RSI or cumulative trauma disorders or overuse syndrome. RSI is a term used for injuries in muscles, nerves and tendons caused by repetitive movement and/or overuse. RSI can affect almost any joint, muscle, tendon or ligament of the human body. RSIs are associated with repetitive actions, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, and sustained or awkward positions.

You can read more about RSI and its symptoms HERE.

Here are some easy home hacks if you are suffering from a RSI:

Identify and modify the task or activity that is causing the symptoms.
If there is no relief you may need to avoid the aggravating activity completely.
Use a cold packs to ease the inflammation in the area.
If you have any muscle spasms or if you wake up with stiffness in the morning or after a period of inactivity then use a hot pack.
Use a splint or support for the affected area.
Maintain a good posture during the day to avoid the stresses from building up on your joints, ligaments and muscles.

MEET SWATI

Hi there!

I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.

My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.

And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.

Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!

xx Swati
