Blackberry Thumb and Cellphone Elbow

I had a massage this weekend, and the masseuse noted that I had developed Blackberry Thumb, a term that refers to an overly developed (and tight) muscle between my thumb and forefinger on my texting hand, specifically from the repetitive motion of texting from particular types of mobile devices...time to get a new cell phone, ay?  perhaps an iPhone?

Had started to get concerned about becoming a physical therapist with pained fingers.  Now, as it turns out, its good I'm getting out of marketing and PR.  Recommended cure?  Thumb stretches, ice, and, um, less texting....Lots of hand yoga in the days ahead (and more headset, less cellphone elbow....)
