The text refers to the classification of "Repetitive Strain Injury" in the category of disease related to work, in 1997, when the National Institute of Social Security decided to change the name from RSI to "Musculoskeletal Disorders Related to Work". It discusses the strategies of denying it as a product of the silence of the body that gets sick because of work. The historical context of the concepts of body and disease, and the several views that, updated, will compose and decompose the movements of creation and/or crystallization of that territory. Finally, the disease is pointed as the body's resistance to constraints.
