Psychosomatics is the study of the relationship between the mind and the body, and how psychological factors can affect physical health. In the context of cumulative trauma disorder (also known as repetitive strain injury or RSI), psychosomatic factors may play a role in the development and persistence of this musculoskeletal condition.

Cumulative trauma disorder is a type of musculoskeletal disorder that is caused by repetitive movements or overuse of certain body parts. It can cause symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. Some research suggests that stress and anxiety may contribute to the development and exacerbation of cumulative trauma disorder. These psychological factors may lead to changes in the body's musculoskeletal system and cause symptoms such as muscle tension and fatigue.
