Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Awareness Day is February 29th*. As the only “non-repetitive” day of the year, it’s the ideal date to devote to raising awareness of repetitive strain injuries. 

*February 28th in non-leap years.

Also known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), repetitive strain injuries are an umbrella term used to describe a family of painful disorders affecting tendons, muscles, nerves and joints in the neck, upper and lower back, chest, shoulders, arms and hands.
