Overuse Syndrome

Overuse Syndrome refers to injuries caused by repetitive stress or strain on muscles, tendons, or joints without adequate rest. Common in athletes and workers performing repetitive tasks, it leads to pain, inflammation, and sometimes tissue damage. Conditions such as tendinitis, stress fractures, and bursitis are examples. Prevention involves proper technique, adequate rest, and strength training. Treatment typically includes rest, physical therapy, and sometimes medical intervention. Recognizing early symptoms and managing workload can help avoid chronic problems and promote faster recovery.
