What is “phone hand”?

"Phone hand" is commonly referred to as text claw, which is a pain in the hand associated with holding a smartphone for an extended amount of time.

The repeated motion and position of the hand when holding a phone upright and texting can cause small tears in the muscle, which can lead to pain and swelling of the hand, according to Dr. Heather Swain, a physical therapist at Ally Physical Therapy.

“As your body attempts to supply the muscle with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to heal, the muscles can swell which makes them stiff to move, and as the swelling presses on the nerves, it can make them feel tight and sore,” she says.

Phone hand is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, in that they both cause pain in the hand and forearm. Phone hand is, as the name implies, specific to using modern day smartphones, typically with one hand.

Undersecretary Enrique "Eric" A. Tayag is retiring from over 35 years of public service as a decorated official of the Department of Health (DOH). At the flag ceremony of the DOH today, the Executive Committee and all staff of the Department thanked Dr. Tayag for his exemplary service for the health of the nation.

"On behalf of the entire Department and the health sector, I thank Usec. Eric Tayag for his time and talent all these decades in the service of the Philippine health sector. I am witness to his well-deserved progression from a young infectious disease doctor and epidemiologist, to health Undersecretary, Chief Information Officer, and DOH Spokesperson," said Secretary Teodoro J. Herbosa.

Come April 15, Usec. Tayag's role as head of the DOH Public Health Services Cluster (PHSC) in charge of epidemiology, disease prevention and control, and health promotion will be handled by Assistant Secretary Ariel I.

Domingo shall henceforth be the Department Spokesperson.

"Maaasahan talaga si Usec. Eric! Maraming salamat sa serbisyo. We know that your heart and passion for service will continue," added Secretary Herbosa.
