Many heavy users of mobile devices (phones, tablets, laptops, etc) have said that they suffer from pain in their hands, neck or shoulders.

We need to be smart and use mobile devices in ways that keep us comfortable. People are often in awkward positions when using devices, eg. bent over while viewing small screens – think about how mobile devices may contribute to aches and pains. Remember to take a break, and relax your hands and shoulders.
