I have published an article with tips and guidelines on how I have succesfully battled RSI myself. Read it for both relief and prevention.

Here’re a few more ideas:

Strengthen your back and the back of your neck. This will allow you to sit and stand upright and hold your shoulders back and your head over your body (rather than letting it move in front of your body where it causes stress & symptoms.)

Lift your chest.

Look down with your eyes, rather than your head.

Keep your elbow close to your waist and your wrist straight.

Make corrections often. It takes a while for new positions and movements to become habit.

Do stretch frequently in the opposite direction of the one you are usually in. And, yes, it is possible to ‘over-stretch’, especially hands.

Listen to your body. Pay attention to what it’s telling you. When do your symptoms start? What are you doing? How could you do it differently? Sometimes you have to be creative.

Just to let you know that I have added a new yoga video that demonstrates some techniques to prevent yoga practice from harming the wrists and in fact should help make the wrists more open.

Thanks for the Workrave tip, John. I’d forgotten that was an option. I’m trying that for now.

If only it didn’t bug you at the most inopportune time!

>Two, don’t ignore the program when it prompts you to take a >break! (This is something I have problems with.)

One of the settings on Workrave is the ability to cancel breaks or not. When the cancel button was there I always cancelled. Works much better when you haven’t got the option to cancel.

Hi, I really think you should add as #1 to go and see a doctor…

I would also like to add a warning about stretching since I think that to much stretching made my problems worse. Now I do more strengthening exercises and that seems better (for me).
