Smart Tip while Using My Smart Phone

Yesterday was my day to full fill my Jury Duty obligation. So the question was; "What should I bring with me to keep entertained while waiting for my number to be called". Snacks, H2O, reading materials, knitting project, and my smart phone. Perfect I was all set. Well, when I exhausted the first four items on my list I turned to my smart phone and started to play my "new" favorite game. Shanghai Lite. Two hours later still playing, and while trying to beat my times I notice my eyes are beginning to blur and shoulders and neck begin to ache!

Occupational Therapy practitioners who specialize in hand therapy and ergonomics have put together a great new tip sheet on "Using Smart Phones Wisely " to prevent this very thing from happening. Occupational Therapists can teach you different strategies in positioning your phone and body, fit you with a splint if needed, make recommendations on equipment, treat your condition and teach you exercises to strengthen your body.

Next time you are in this situation contact your local Occupational Therapist and he or she might be able to teach you a few "smart tips" .

Oh, BTW, I didn't get picked for Jury Duty after all.
