If you're looking for something inexpensive to try, you could try installing anti-rsi software like Workrave (Windows/Linux) or AntiRSI (OSX).

They monitor your computer usage and lock you out at regular intervals, so you can have a break, and relax your arms/hands/fingers. Works for me.

Thanks for pointing out Workrave! I used to use xwrits when I used Linux, and have been looking for something similar for Windows for a long time.
