Ergonomic Phone

Most people in their job are required to use the phone throughout the day. This also often involves having to write / type at the same time. The combination of using the phone and writing or typing at the same time can be very dangerous and lead to some ergonomic problems / injuries.

If in your job you are required to use the phone a lot then you really should have a headset. This will free up your hands to type or write. Never cradle the phone i.e. put it in-between your neck and your shoulder. This can cause the joints in your neck to stiffen up and the muscles to become tight.

Another important feature of the ergonomic phone is to have it on the opposite side to the side that your mouse is on. Generally people that are dominant on one side for example your right side tend to have everything on that side. It is a good idea to balance what is on your desk and try to use your hands equally.
