    Abstract:
    In order to avoid RSI, try to neutralize, modify and energize at work, home and play. These concepts eliminate the risk factors associated with the development of RSI and optimize an individual's physical capabilities to work productively and efficiently. People suffering with an RSI should consult their physician regarding the various treatment options available to them. Ideally, prevention is the key to reducing the costs and problems associated with RSI. However, an individual suffering with RSI should not delay addressing the injury. Treatment is most effective when applied as soon as possible after the onset of injury.
