What Do You Mean I Have BlackBerry Thumb, Doc?
Just when you thought you’ve heard of the most unusually tabbed injuries…enter “BlackBerry Thumb”. The days of injuries named for or resulting from…uh, how can I put this…hard work…are a thing of the past. And if you’ve been under a rock for the past decade, you probably haven’t heard of workplace, or lifestyle, injuries…or you have “Under a Rock Neck” (ok, that was bad). Among the many such maladies…”Turf Toe”, “Tennis Elbow”, “Hot Tub Lung“…BlackBerry Thumb is the newest and latest.
According to an article I read last night on MSNBC.com, the Hyatt hotel chain is offering a “BlackBerry Balm” hand massage as a result of numerous customers requesting that “masseurs to spend more time on their hands and arms”. And this is by no means simply a marketing ploy. Apparently BlackBerry Thumb was recognized by the Amercian Physical Therapy Association earlier this year. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to text my masseur about booking a BlackBerry Balm Massage for this afternoon. You folks be careful out there.
