I think a better solution is to not have one designated body position for work.

I have an office with only a standing desk but I'll come in and sit by the table, or on the recliner, or even lie on the floor.

The hardest part was getting myself trained to be just as productive on one monitor.

My anecdotal evidence is I feel this has been better than doing X day-after-day year-after-year.

Sold my 6 monitor PC setup for a single MBPR. That combined with an external trackpad just takes a swipe or two to get to the screen I want.

No matter what I do, I can't handle bouncing between screens like that. I use my virtual desktops to organize different tasks if I need to work multiple things at once, but for a given task I want as much visible to me at once as possible.
yup. that and exercising your back and shoulder muscles a bit now and then actually helps your body from getting RSI symptoms in the first place...
