Breaks: Frequent breaks and occasional icing can help with typing related wrist pain. An ergonomic workstation, keyboard and mouse are also essential to prevent other injuries as well.

Breaks and stretch: Yes, frequent breaks...Even if they are just for a minute or two can help. Ergonomic correct positioning is essential. In addition warm up flexibility exercises and stretching during quick breaks can make a big difference.
