Whilst the causes of sport injuries are resolved when they are being treated, the causes of RSI (CANS, etc) are usually not during the treatment: poor posture needs to be reeducated, stress must be analysed and reduced, ergonomics must be fixed, etc. Teaching people proper posture is not feasible by means of words only. Photos and videos help, but what is needed is proprioception: One needs to feel what is right vs. what is wrong. Mirrors help a lot in this respect. These ideas are pushed on www.ergologic.net. At the bottom line of this initiative is the intimate conviction that a new approach is needed to resolve RSI issues, which takes patient education (e.g., in pathomechanics) much more seriously than what's commonly the case.

Hope this helps.
