This trigger point tutorial and the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook for chronic muscle pain, including RSI. Looks to me like a genuine case where mainstream medicine has not caught up with what alternative-ish therapies can explain and heal. This guy's site looks like an incredibly well-documented resource for all kinds of chronic pain.

Self massage is a great healing method.

Yoga for maintaining and improving range of motion.

Five stretches for knitting pain relief-- myofascial massage. I don't knit, but these made my hands feel good and the comments about the stretches are enthusiastic.

I had bad RSI (wrists/shoulders) and back pain at various times in my late 20s. Physical therapy and other conventional treatments (thanks for the Vioxx scrip!) hardly helped. I'm still unsure why I got better, but resting and acting like an invalid for more than a few months is probably wrong.
