That would be right.

Set your comp up so that you are straight on to your monitor, your keyboard right in front of you, and at a comfortable height for both desk and chair. Make sure monitor is at eye level, neither looking up or down. Center of monitor at eye level looking straight ahead.
Get a couple of those soft squeeze balls and use them, one in each hand to exercise those wrists.

Good posture in front of a computer is VERY IMPORTANT.
