Whenever this question comes up I recommend the Alexander Technique. That worked for me, reply with email for more info.

This from the ACT RSI group (Australia):

Some treatments were moderately or very successful for most who tried them, with very little or no adverse effect. These were:

    * Bowen Therapy
    * Alexander Technique
    * Tai Chi
    * Self Hypnosis
Treatments with adverse effects on more than 20% of those who tried them included:
    * Swimming
    * Carpal tunnel surgery
    * Local anaesthetic injections
    * Traction (the standout villain!)
    * Stretches from a physio
    * Cortisone injections

There is now some good science to show that Alexander Technique is effective, at least for lower back pain:
