You need a spa treatment if you own a PDA
It's true. Several hotels are now offering hand spa and massage treatments for a severe case known to man as "Blackberry Thumb." Similar to how you get carpal tunnel syndrome from overuse and abuse of the keyboard, Blackberry Thumb is a condition you can acquire from overuse and abuse of holding the PDA and stylus improperly.

The American Physical Therapy Association in Alexandria, Va., and other occupational organizations warn that improper use and overuse of personal digital assistants (PDAs) can lead to hand throbbing, tendonitis and swelling, a condition known as BlackBerry Thumb, named after the popular PDA.

So the next time you go to a spa, make sure you give special treatment not just to your feet and body - but your hands as well.
