RSI is a response to excessive and repetitive demands placed on the body resulting in excessive wear and tear on the soft tissues of the body (nerves, tendons, circulatory system, etc.). It includes Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD), Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD), Repetitive Motion Injury (RMI), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), etc. If your body does not get a chance to heal, the damage adds up, and can eventually result in RSI.
