When my massage therapist first heard the term "BlackBerry Thumb," she didn't know what it meant.  Now, treating it is a new and booming part of her spa business.

Therapies to treat workplace woes such as a sore thumb from tapping on a hand-held computer, the aches of "Tech Neck" form typing on a laptop, headache and stiff neck or even skin irritation form chatting on a cell phone are the latest rage to hit high-end spas, where the weary can seek relief at the end of an arduous workday.

Some spas have a introduced specialized  facials to help clean clogged pores and breakouts tied to cellular telephone use.  Its become a huge part of sales, and everyday new clients call with inquires.  Since introducing the specialized massages and facials she has found a wealth of clients among stressed-out professionals and office employees who are overworked in competitive jobs.

Named after the Ontario-based Research In Motion Ltd's popular personal digital assistant, the stress-related injury "BlackBerry Thumb" was recently recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association as an official workplace malady.

A client shows up for a massage and has to wait for the next available room.  The attendant will warm the BodySense Mitt and place one on each hand, along with a warm NeckEase for the sitff neck and shoulder.  By the time the person enters the treatment room they are relaxed, and the  pain in their hands have been relieved.   The headache and stiff neck are eased.  The stiff neck with shoulder pain is in need of the perfect treatment and BodySense Trap Pack does it.  It is designed to fit over the shoulders and down on to trapezius muscles.

The esthetician will use the BodySense Muff while performing a facial.  Both hands are inside the warm soothing Muff to ease stiff joints while getting those clogged pores opened.  Afterwards a cool BodySense Eye Pillow will be over the eyes to ease any discomfort or redness form the treatments.

Both clients are employees at a technology company and purchased the NeckEase, Mitt, and Eye Pillow to take back to their offices.  Plus several additional items for gifts (Mother's Day and Father's Day are approaching).  Now when that knot between the shoulders shows up after hours on the computer, a NeckEase is on hand to ease and sooth away the pain. The stiff neck and sore shoulder are relieved with moist heat, a little pressure and a soothing aroma.
