Narrative

RSI Action is an all-volunteer non-profit organization providing information and support to people with repetitive strain injuries (sometimes called cumulative trauma disorder) including:

• tendinitis
• thoracic outlet syndrome
• DeQuervain's syndrome
• epicondylitis 
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• others

Injuries may come from computer use and other causes (including dentistry, manufacturing and musical instruments).

We offer injured worker support meetings which are scheduled by appointment. Please call RSI Action at 617-247-6827 to set up a meeting, or send e-mail to info at rsiaction dot org.  Because of spam problems, please put "RSI Action" in the subject line; these will be the only e-mails we respond to. 

At these meetings, RSI Action volunteers answer questions and provide resources and support, including the opportunity to view our book of provider evaluations, to people with RSIs or other workplace injuries.  Discussion topics have included medical treatment, insurance/legal issues, and speech recognition software.

Send e-mail to info at rsiaction dot org. Our volunteers also periodically pick up and respond to voice messages left at 617-247-6827. Voicemail is checked weekly, so you can expect a return call within roughly a week.
