Hi Max,

I am a fitness trainer, bodyworker, and ergonomist. It sounds as though an intervention with more of a holistic approach to address your postures and behaviors with and without your equipment would be most helpful for you at this time. Injuries occur due to taking a "wait and see" approach. There are numerous strategies you can take to avoid  this, however, contacting a professional would be valuable for you now.

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Monica

Thank you! This is very helpful...

I'm researching the use of safe ergonomics using smart phone, iPhone, iPad, gaming devices, etc...and finding it difficult to find educational material for this equipment. Besides the above youtube video, i believe there is little out there on the subject of using these devices safely, yet everyone's using them unsafely; using their thumbs, rather than fingers and in a 'neutral posture'. Despite the fact that they elicit overall, unsafe postures.

Any suggestions on finding a link/s about these devices to help me educate others about how they can contribute to RSI injuries?
