I had a nagging case of epicondylitis in my right arm that rest, stretches, and RICE alone couldn't shake. It wasn't until I started mousing with my left hand that I kicked it for good.
I don't expect to ever be completely free of carpal tunnel and golf/tennis elbow again, but keeping the RSI to a minimum (and increasing post-climbing recovery times as I get older  ) has reduced the frequency and severity of flare-ups significantly.
It is all about listening to your body. RSI isn't something you can "walk off" or train away...
Edit: by "train", I meant climbing training. There are definitely exercises you can do to help alleviate elbow problems!
