Crackberry Massage
Lunar Massage in Washington, D.C.
Ideal for the high-strung professional, Washington's Lunar Massage Studio offers the Crackberry, a 20-min. hand, thumb and arm massage that 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."
