What are overuse injuries?

Also known as: repetitive motion injuries.

An overuse injury is a type of injury that occurs not from one sudden, traumatic accident, but rather from the repetition of a motion over and over again for months or years that ultimately causes damage to a part of the body. They are also known as repetitive motion injuries.
