When I had carpal tunnel syndrome 10 years ago someone on HN recommended the Harvard RSI program that follows Sarno’s technique.

It took work but it literally cured me. Went on to use the same techniques for back pain and haven’t had that in many years.

> Keep wrists above the pad, and tilt the kbd downward.

TIL! This is the opposite of what I’ve been doing to date.

That image made me think about all those fancy 'thicc' mechanical keyboard on Youtube. My wrist hurt just seeing the video. Low profile keyboard FTW!

If you had that particular type of pain, it will become "obvious". You'll feel the pain of maintaining the wrist flat, and the pain will be less in that posture.

Same with my back pain and lumbar support. Once the lumbar support gave me relief, I could easily tell which chairs/couches were terrible for the back as the bad ones would give instant pain.
