It is possible that a light touch is less stressful for those so afflicted, but I doubt that a heavy touch is the cause of their injury. Whenever a pianist mentions to me that their piano playing is being affected by RSI, I encourage them to find a teacher who knows about the Dorothy Taubman method. So many people are causing themselves injury because they haven't figured out (and no one has taught them) that there is a natural way to play, where it is not such an effort. It's as if the body knows there is a better way to play and RSI is its way of making you aware that you're working too hard. http://www.teresadybvig.com/taubman.htm or do a Google search for Dorothy Taubman method.
