About This Podcast

Listen as we unpack a crucial workplace health study from Brazil that asked a simple but overlooked question: how do you tell the difference between sore arms from work and actual repetitive strain injury? Discover why nearly half of bank workers with symptoms don't have clinically confirmed RSI, why women face three times the risk, and what a simple four-question screening tool reveals about occupational health diagnosis.
