I also conquered "RSI" by reading Dr John Sarno's book (after trying everything else I could for over a year and a half). This was back in 2002 and I haven't problems since (11 years); and the problem went away in a matter of weeks. Now I type on a keyboard all day long, play guitar, bass guitar, drums, and sometimes keyboards without worrying about taking breaks or ergonomics. I do have an ergonomic computer setup (keyboard tray), but it's mainly just for comfort and speed.

I do think what Sarno writes is what is really going on in most cases of "RSI" and other types of chronic pain. It makes complete logical sense to me and makes sense of everything I experienced, even going back before I had the wrist pain (occasional unexplained back pain, neck pain, etc that would last for weeks - which I no longer have now).
