New technology is all around us and with new technology comes new ways to use and abuse our bodies. It wasn’t that long ago that no one was texting, or playing games on their phone or iPod. Now it seems that almost everyone has the ability to do these things, and using your hand in that manner has can become a strain on your hand causing pain in your thumbs and palm.
