alt Hacker NewsI have managed RSI for decades, so consider this anecdotal of course.
The one thing that has always given me relief: changing my keyboard every 6 months or so.
For this reason I have a stack of different keyboards and whenever I start to feel the tugging pain gnawing in my hands muscles and tendons, I switch out the ol’ keyboard and get back to work.
Within a day, relief.
Seriously, it’s that simple. Just don’t get fixated on a single keyboard and you’ll be fine. Get yourself a small collection, swap them around.
Same with shoes if you walk or run significant distances multiple times a week. Different models, different brands, different types of soles.
It both gives time for the soles to recover, lessening the permanent compaction over time, and helps reduce motion repetitiveness, which all your joints will be thankful for.
