Things I've done:
-switched the mouse to my left hand
-installed WorkRave, actually did what it said
-switched the caps-lock and ctrl key
-switched to dvorak
-use the ergo microsoft keyboard
-avoid laptops
-learned to sit up straight and not cross my legs
-stopped using the mouse scroll wheel
These days I'm trying to pay attention to my keystrokes. For example, using the right shift to make (){} results in some stressful twisting, so I'm trying to cut that out.
If you spend a lot of time coding, try to spend more time with a pencil and paper designing before you hit the keyboard. That gives you a good break and reduces the amount of typing and deleting you'll do.
