You know your chair is the perfect height if you can sit at your computer with your knees bent at right angles and your feet flat on the floor.
Rest your wrists when you are not typing.
Take frequent short breaks. Several brief respites do your wrists a lot more good than a single long one.
Stretch your wrists before you start to work and during breaks, and strengthen your wrists with exercise.
Exercise regularly. Overall body conditioning seems to help guard against repetitive motion injuries.
If you type standing up, as clerks at car-rental agencies do, you are at special risk because counters are usually not high enough to allow for a proper wrist position. You must be sure to do enough stretching and strengthening exercises to counteract this problem or ask your employer to adjust your work station.
