This is what Alex has written there: RepeatedStrainInjury – saw a doctor, started physiotherapy on 2002-02-05. I bought a Kinesis keyboard. I used little programs that forced me to take a lot of breaks. It didn’t help. Note that the Kinesis keyboard and the other things did not help (or perhaps was not enough) for Alex! He continues I stopped therapy 2002-10-21 and decided to work less, get up more often, started practicing Aikido, and no longer work in long shifts. That helped. More psyical exercise, less sitting computer work -- that was what Alex believed helped. And that is what I think is the right way to avoid problems. We are simply not made for computers (and I wonder if computers are really made for us ...).
