Help me find the best RSI Doctors in Boston

Does anyone have personal experience with Doctors or Physical Therapists in Boston that specialize in RSI? My primary physician was fairly clueless and dismissive of the issue, and my arm, wrist, and hand pain isn't abating in spite of following the advice from "It's Not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!"

Try the Harvard Vanguard in Fenway. I had arm and hand pain, and saw some specialists over in their Hand Therapy dept. I had specific success with Dr. Coopee, and I was recommended to her by Dr. Mootz (they are in the same dept) after I didn't respond to traditional RSI treatments that she had tried with me. (They both seemed very competent and tuned-in to my needs.)

FWIW, quick summary of my experience: I thought it was RSI, but turns out it was due to my shoulders and back and neck and chest muscles being too tight, which I guess had a domino effect down my arm. Dr. Coopee recommended some stretches to add to my daily routine, that would help me loosen my muscles in those areas, and it worked!
