Repetitive strain injury, repetitive stress injury, or RSI is a term that most people have heard of. RSI is really a blanket name that is used to describe many different types of soft tissue injury including carpel tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. It is usually caused by a mixture of bad ergonomics, poor posture, stress, and repetitive motion.

	RSI conditions have many varied symptoms. The following may indicate the onset of an RSI.
	Recurring pain or soreness in neck, shoulders, upper back, wrists or hands.
	Tingling, numbness, coldness or loss of sensation.
	Loss of grip strength, lack of endurance, weakness, fatigue.
	Muscles in the arms and shoulders feel hard and wiry when palpated.
	Pain or numbness while lying in bed. Often early stage RSI sufferers mistakenly think they are lying on their arms in an awkward position cutting off circulation.
