As technology plays an ever growing role within our lives, we need products that can support our love of laptops, smart phones, tablets, video games, and more.

When we point, click, type, and text we’re exposing ourselves to a common problem called repetitive stress injuries. A repetitive stress injury is a muscular condition that results from repeated motions performed in the course of normal work or daily activities. It’s often the result of too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion at an unnatural or awkward position.

Some might say that the easiest way to avoid injury is to give up the activity or things that can cause such injuries… but smart phones, laptops and computers are here to stay. They make the world go round, which leaves businesses in a bit of a quandary. On the one hand, you need employees to use computers to do their job, thus making your business run and grow. On the other hand, you don’t want to expose your employees to something that could potentially lead to injury; thus increasing your risk of incuring workers compensations claims, higher health care costs, reduced productivity, and absenteeism.
