R Madhavan warns public of hazards of excessive mobile phone usage on health: 'Your body is changing...'

Actor and health advocate R Madhavan recently raised alarm about a growing concern often overlooked: the physical impact of mobile phone usage on our bodies.

The Hidden Physical Toll of Mobile Phones

At a recent health awareness seminar, R Madhavan, known for Rocketry, urged people to be more mindful of how their digital habits—especially constant phone use—are quietly affecting their physical health. He emphasized that while screen time is often linked to mental well-being, the physical effects on our hands, posture, and body should not be overlooked.

Recognizing Symptoms and Taking Action

Madhavan drew attention to a condition often referred to as "mobile phone finger," describing how frequent scrolling, texting, and prolonged phone use can cause repetitive strain injuries and posture-related problems.

He urged people to pay attention to signs like finger stiffness, wrist pain, or slouched posture—common symptoms often overlooked as effects of daily mobile phone use.

Madhavan’s Call for Mindful Tech Habits and Wellness

Madhavan’s message struck a chord with many, as he emphasized the importance of taking screen breaks, doing regular stretches, and adopting mindful tech habits. “This isn’t just about fitness,” he said, “it’s about reclaiming control over our bodies in a world ruled by digital devices.”

He has been using both his work and platform to inspire healthier lifestyle choices in our increasingly digital world.
