Doing anything repetitively puts you at risk of RSI. Please note that using the QWERTY keyboard on the computer, and using the mouse on the computer, are the two things which brought RSI to prominent attention.
As you do not need to use any pressure, at all, for Braille Touch, or any other form of onscreen input with the iOS devices, RSI is less likely to develop. So, if you are feeling pain and tension whilst using Braille Touch, and you do not already have residual effects of RSI, you are most likely gripping the iDevice too hard, pressing too hard whilst typing or activating commands, or a combination of the above.
