The Alexander Technique is incredible valuable in working with RSI; I'm a violinist & AT teacher in NYC and have seen people who couldn't turn a page in a book or press an elevator button without pain learn how rid themselves of RSI by improving their "use" as Mr. Alexander called it.

Here's a little essay that explains some of the ideas behind the work; but it must be learned by hands on experiences to be truly understood.
