If you&#x27;re getting RSI from sign language you&#x27;re either an interpreter or over-producing.<p>In the case of the former, you&#x27;re using the language differently than a typical user. Most people don&#x27;t produce language in the same amounts or in the same ways that an interpreter will (that is; speaking&#x2F;signing isn&#x27;t most people&#x27;s job). There are steps you can take to reduce RSI as an interpreter, including proper rest while working and supportive braces at night.<p>For the latter, it&#x27;s possible to over-produce signs - basically &quot;signing too hard.&quot; That can be painful, but it&#x27;s correctable.
