It isn’t just texters and mobile phone users who could injure themselves. Frequent channel changers, drop that remote. It can affect your fingers, thumbs, wrists, forearms, shoulders even your neck and spine.Īnd computer users beware. It’s called repetitive strain injury (RSI), and, yes, you can get it from texting too much. From Stylus Finger to iPod Finger to Blackberry Thumb, the names of injuries you can get from texting too much or repetitive use of a mobile device all come down to one common injury. Maybe you’ve heard of it before or maybe you’ve even experienced it.


As an occupational hand therapist, I’m aware of the “dangers” texting and mobile device use may cause.
