Statistical info. availabe on overuse injuries in therapists in U.K?

[me,thats who]

Dear Forum

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as statistical data available on overuse injuries amongst bodyworkers/therapist in the U.K?

I have found some info. regarding the U.S but am drawing a blank about the U.K?

Thanks in advance

Contact Gerry Pyves at [link=http://www.nohandsmassage.com]www.nohandsmassage.com[/link] - he has conducted some personal research on this, incuding a survey into RSI and related overuse injuries in massage therapists.

Other than that, I'm not aware of any other formal research conducted - t might be worth contacting the people who teach Injury Prevention Massage and other such forms of massage, as they may have some statistics you can use.

Best of luck.
