Top 10 Odd Spa Treatments
Ideal for the high-strung professional, Washington’s Lunar Massage Studio offers the “Crackberry,” a 20-minute hand, thumb and arm massage, which targets the modern malady known as “digital thumb” — an overexerted appendage sore from constant BlackBerry and iPhone jabbing. Targeted kneading releases tension in key areas.
Owner Joanna Robinson says the treatment, created on a whim, is a perfect fit for the nation’s capital: “I understand the D.C. nerdy culture and the young professional,” she says, referring to the massive corps of 20- and 30-something associates and interns who storm Washington each year. The $26 hand massage is for “the people who work very hard, but make very little.”
