About Us: Repetitive Strain Injury (2007 – Present)

Our Journey

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) was launched in 2007 with a vision to become the go-to resource for understanding and managing repetitive strain injuries, a growing concern in modern society. Founded by a team of dedicated health enthusiasts, our website has evolved over the years, driven by a passion to provide accurate and reliable information about RSI and its impact on individuals’ lives.

As we mark our milestones, we reflect on the following key achievements:

  • 2010: We introduced an interactive symptom checker, offering personalized guidance to users experiencing RSI symptoms.
  • 2013: The RSI Community Forum was established, creating a safe space for victims to share their stories and support one another.
  • 2015: Our team expanded, bringing on board expert contributors from the fields of medicine and ergonomics to enhance our content’s quality.
  • 2018: We launched an app, making it easier for users to access RSI information and track their recovery progress on-the-go.
  • 2022: RSI celebrates a decade of empowering individuals with knowledge, introducing advanced features and an updated design to better serve our readers.

Our Purpose and Mission

RSI is committed to being the most comprehensive and reliable online resource for repetitive strain injury. Our purpose is threefold:

  1. Educate: We strive to bridge the information gap by providing easy-to-understand explanations of RSI, its causes, symptoms, and available treatments.
  2. Empower: We empower individuals affected by RSI with practical tools and strategies to manage their condition effectively.
  3. Advocate: We raise awareness about RSI’s prevalence and impact, advocating for better understanding, research, and prevention.

Addressing the Need

The internet is abundant with information, but when it comes to RSI, we identified a critical gap. Many websites offer vague or outdated advice, while others focus solely on selling products without providing valuable insights. RSI fills this void by offering unbiased, evidence-based content created and reviewed by experts in the field.

We ensure accuracy through rigorous fact-checking, referencing credible sources, and regularly updating our content to reflect the latest research and best practices. Our commitment to reliability sets us apart, allowing readers to trust the information they find on RSI.
