I've had a similar struggle and also just stuck with what you have in the end -- exercising more (I find weight training actually REALLY helps as it's much bigger muscle motion), taking regular breaks (I use Workrave which tracks when I'm ACTUALLY working after getting annoyed at coming back from coffee and being ordered to a break by my laptop!) and going for deep tissue massage or chiropractor treatment every 6 weeks or so. Anyway, just realised I may be coming across as an RSI zealot so will shut up and just say thank you for the backpack article, I'm looking to replace my (awesome but heavy) Booq backpack and so will look at the one you recommend!
